Measuring 21 inches in length, this piece transcends typical seasonal decor, serving as a permanent statement for the avant-garde home bar or cabinet of curiosities.

Design & Craftsmanship: Expertly hand-finished by the master metalworkers of Moradabad, India—a region world-renowned for its centuries-old casting traditions. The exterior features a rugged, wood-grain texture cast in solid aluminum, while a highly detailed skeleton "rests" inside.

Functionality: Because it is crafted from solid aluminum, it offers superior thermal properties for maintaining ice temperature. It is naturally rust-proof and designed for professional-grade beverage service, comfortably holding multiple bottles of wine or spirits.
