Indian Planter with Hanging Ring Motif

Two rings you will never need to lift.

This planter with hanging ring motif comes from India and dates to the 20th century. It is carved marble. Planters like this were made for the courtyards and gardens of Indian homes and palaces, holding flowers or shrubs, and here the stone imitates a metal fitting. The form is long and straight-sided, with rounded ends and a thick rolled rim. Two rings hang from carved straps on the front, in white stone lightly veined with grey. Seventy-two inches wide and twenty-one high.

Fill it with something green and let the marble take the credit.
