Turtle & Swans Trinket Tray

Wisdom in a bowl. Borrowed from the timeless tales of the Panchatantra, this piece retells a classic jungle fable: a fierce tiger terrorised the jungle, until a small hare offered to be his meal—but arrived late with a clever story. He spoke of another tiger, led him to a well, and in a fit of rage, the tiger leapt at his own reflection—never to return. Cast in brass and finished with a warm patina, the surface comes alive in detailed relief—the tiger, the hare, and the turning point of the tale. A playful catch-all for everyday trinkets, and a reminder that quick wit often outplays a large ego.
