| Description |
Made of wood this beautiful serving vessel has
been intricately carved to emulate the features of
a ram. The head of the ram is simply carved, yet
the expression is impeccable. As the horns curve
delicately around the ears of the ram the eyes
peer out directly as if in anticipation. The neck is
beautifully carved, each part as perfect as the
other. The vessel itself is deep and oval in shape,
while continuing similar grooves along the base.
The solid wood form, the purity of line and
simplicity of color enhances the overall
sculptural effect of the piece, making it a
pleasure to behold.
