Vessel of Light In Miniature soft and flowing and translucentPortuguese Tiger Skin Marble 48 x 17 x 17cm An ancient stone vessel, its soft and misty sliver blue and gold marbling flows across its surface. The form is in contrast with the hard material it is carved from. Its history is told through its fragmentation and echoes of ceremonial and ritual objects of the past.
