Description:
- Small bronze vase with beautiful reliefs.
- Beautiful vase of small size, with a nice floral relief.
- In the central part of the body of the vase there is a man riding a donkey, probably made in copper.
- In addition to the relief, it also has chiselled parts following the floral designs.
- The design is simple and very elegant. It has a small base and mouth, and a wider, more voluptuous body.
- The base is covered with a brass plate.
- We think that it has its origin in the Asian area, specifically in Japan, as it has a design that is closer to the oriental style.
- Possibly made with a lathe, but made with great detail. Composed of several parts, it is not a single piece.
- The relief is the most curious part of the vase, giving it great beauty and value.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information on where it was made, the maker's details, or any other information.
