Description
This bronze spherical footed food container adds traditional, visual, and spatial appeal to an interior. Even oxidation of bronze has resulted in an even palette of greens and deep color. The lateral circular protrusions were traditionally tied together to secure the hemispheres into a sphere. These two practical aspects create geometrical and thematic interest with the three rampant dragons decorating the crown.
