Antique Sculptural Container

DIMENSIONS 13.5" diameter x 41" high DESCRIPTION A stunningly beautiful hand carved antique container. Originally a drum. Circa 1900. Both usable and sculptural. Full dimensions; 13.5” diameter at the top and 7.5” diameter at the bottom x 41” high. This sculptural container was sourced in the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a Wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
