Indian Planter with Zigzag Motif | Black Onyx

White marble, black zigzags, and very little chance of the plant stealing the show.

This planter with a zigzag motif comes from Gujarat, India, and is contemporary, in white marble with black onyx. Stone inlay has a long history in Indian building and decoration, and carvers there still set dark stone into pale marble for gardens and courtyards. The pot is round and full, narrowing to a short neck with a thick rope-twist rim. Bands of onyx circle the body in angled zigzags, tightening toward the foot. A plain black ring sits at the top of the pattern. It is 20 inches high and 20 in diameter.

The fern will have to work hard.
