Every surface serves as a canvas for classical motifs, making it a commanding presence in a professional study or a private collection of ethnic arts.

Forged from solid brass, the vessel’s body is entirely encased in relief panels created through meticulous chasing and embossing techniques.

The twin handles are sculpted into prominent serpent forms that provide a strong vertical silhouette, while the lid is crowned with a hand-finished crescent moon finial.
