About this piece
A heavy copper pot with a ring on each side to carry it.
This cylindrical vessel with ring handles was made in India in the 20th century, in copper. Large copper vessels are commonly used in Indian households for carrying and storing water or for cooking and ceremonial use. The body is wide at the top and tapers toward a flared foot. A beaded band runs along the rim, and a loose iron-like ring hangs on each side. The metal is a warm golden brown, with soft dents and a worn, hand-polished glow.
About eleven inches tall and fourteen wide. A planter that was a pot first.
