Crafted strictly for the curator's desk rather than a common shelf, the immediate weight and cold metallic presence of the structure demand physical interaction.

Forged with heavily pronounced, spiraling ribs that travel seamlessly from the structured base up to the domed lid. The tactile depth of these channels is amplified by a dark, oxidized patina that deliberately settles into the recesses, highlighting the raw brass peaks.

Height: 42 cm \ 16.5 inches
Width: 31 cm \ 12.2 inches

Twin solid cast-brass serpent heads rise abruptly from the midsection to serve as formidable handles. A thick, oxidized metal chain links the two serpent spouts across the chest of the vessel. This physical constraint adds actual, kinetic weight and produces a subtle, metallic clink when the piece is moved.

Terminating the aggressive spiral of the lid is a sharp, solid brass crescent moon (hilal) finial, solidly anchoring the piece in traditional Middle Eastern architectural and historical martial aesthetics. See less
