Handcrafted from hammered copper and decorated with applied brass elements, this ceremonial piece features an incredible array of ornamental plaques, embossed medallions, and symbolic motifs across its rounded form. Raised on three cast brass legs and topped with a swing handle, it has presence and patina in spades.

The body is punctuated by small spouts and fittings, hinting at its original use in spiritual rituals or offerings. Each brass appliqué, from keyhole shapes to florals and geometrics, was individually hand-worked, adding to the vessel's deeply textured and richly tactile surface.

Whether styled on a shelf, console, or used as a sculptural accent in an eclectic or boho interior, this piece brings with it centuries of Himalayan artistry and a wonderfully storied character! See less
