AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller

The animal’s facial features are rendered in a naturalistic manner, with fine details such as the texture of the wool carefully incised. The base of the handle, where it would have attached to the body of the vessel, is a curved sheet of metal with symmetric projections, decorated in a raised vegetal design.
The handle sits upon a custom made stand.
