The term mana refers to this historic system of measurement in Nepal, where vessels like this ensured consistency in trade and daily life. Handcrafted in a warm bronze alloy, the form is both functional and sculptural, with a softly rounded body, subtly cinched neck, and flared rim, complemented by an applied medallion detail at the front. The surface shows a rich naturally developed patina with areas of burnishing and oxidation that speak to years of handling and use. Now removed from its original utilitarian context, it reads as a striking decorative object perfect for styling on a console, shelf, or as a standalone vessel. See less
