Raised Copper Vessel with Reticulated Repoussé Finish afco lite MM - 106116 - 032823Vintage handmade copper vessel with wire chainmail sash. This piece features reverse hammered design embellishments and features an abstract form that appears to take some inspiration from biology. While unconfirmed, the two openings at the top are reminiscent of ventricles and the piece as a whole exhibits the sinewy form of an internal organ. Attached is a wire chainmail loop or sash that gives this the appearance of a wineskin or primitive canteen.
