Object No. TER-026
Crimson Trellis Mosaic Urn
Physical Description:

A tall, slender terracotta vessel featuring a high, rounded shoulder that tapers into a narrow, flared rim and a steady base. The body is finished in a rich, multi-tonal crimson wash with a metallic, burnished copper sheen that provides a luminous foundation for its geometric ornamentation. The exterior is encased in a continuous, hand-set silver glass mosaic trellis, forming a rhythmic pattern of interlocking quatrefoil shapes that wrap fluidly around the vessel’s circumference. This light-reflecting glass work provides a sharp, architectural contrast to the warm, earthy texture of the clay, echoing the shimmering Prada (gold-leaf) and glass accents often found in Balinese ceremonial art while maintaining a clean, contemporary silhouette.
