Hi,
has anyone any ideas as to origin of this brass/bronze container, very heavy with animal motifs and geometric lines (reminds me of a Japanese Zen garden). Does not seem recent and seems to be cast. Not certain as to its use either. So any suggestions will be gratefully received.
Length 20 cms (8") height 10cms (4") width 13cms (5.1")
The animals are likely symbolic, talismatic or of some form of 'totem'. Again any sugggestions would be great.
I bought this to 'compliment' my African weapons, when they....finally will be displayed. Too many teenagers in the house (it would be tempting for them to 'play' with them
......I know I would , if I was in their position
)
Thank you
David
