The urn shaped vase has been mounted with two elegant handles in the form the heads of a bird.The body of the vase has been hand chased and chiselled, combining these two different techniques to create an added dimension to the vase, with the higher relief design.
There are two stunning sc...enes on the vase. One portrays a young man and lady embracing each other as the man has his arms lovingly around the lady.

The facial features, hair, clothing and surrounding areas have all been flawlessly completed by the master artist.
The surrounding areas around these two scenes have been completed in a higher relief with simply stunning animals among a beautiful textured landscape full of hills. There are lions hunting rabbits, beautiful exotic birds, sheep, goats, hares and rabbits as well as wolves too.

Size The maximum height of the vase up to the top of the handles is 45cm.The vase weighs 1946 grams, so it is just under 2kg in weight.
The vase is in excellent condition - there is however a small area of repair around the base. It has been shown more clearly in the last two photos. You can see it from the underside, which is not very important - The main thing is, it is not very noticeable from the normal view while the vase is standing on a surface.
