[QUOTE="JohnNL, post: 408406, member: 6438"]Recently i picked up this bronze, lidded pot. I really like it, although sadly there is missing a bit of the webbing at one side. Underneath the feet are broken off brass rods sticking out a bit, see last picture. Did it use to have wheels, maybe? There's remnants of sand and in the mouth and around the little fish there, rough finish. Dimensions: 28 x 12 x 9 cm. At first i thought it was west african, i bought it together with a big yoruba bell. But now i am leaning more to a tribal indian / dokhra brass object. [LEFT][SIZE=16px][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=rgb(20, 20, 20)]There's holes in the middle, so probably not to hold something? [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/LEFT] I would love to hear your views: on origin and what it could have been used for!
