About this piece
A white lotus with little knobs between the petals.
Indian craftsmen made this lotus-form platter in marble in the 20th century. The lotus is a long-established symbol of purity in the region, and carved stone vessels are traditional. This one has a deep scalloped edge, with petal-like lobes and a raised border around a smooth, circular center. Small round knobs sit between the lobes. The stone is creamy white and softly mottled, with slightly worn edges. It stands on a flat black metal base.
About twenty-four inches across. Plain at the center and busy at the rim, like a good conversation.
