Sold for: £22
A cylindrical container, likely a planter, constructed from dark, horizontally ribbed wood, extensively fitted with polished brass or bronze. The item features ornate brass bands with stamped decorative borders at the top and bottom, vertical brass straps, and three distinct applied brass animal motifs: an elephant, a bird, and a crocodile or alligator. Each animal motif incorporates a small brass swing ring, suggesting a potential handling mechanism. The overall aesthetic points towards an Anglo-Indian or Colonial style, potentially dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. No discernible text or maker’s marks are visible.
