Object No. IRO-009
Geometric Embossed Metal Vessel on Stand
Physical Description:

This industrial-style sculpture features a flattened, ovoid vessel body that tapers into a tall, cylindrical neck, suspended within a minimalist circular iron frame. The central form is crafted using traditional Pandai Besi forging techniques and is distinguished by bold, linear embossing that creates a series of interlocking geometric triangles and spiral motifs across its face. A fine iron wire is tightly coiled around the neck and upper shoulders, adding a tactile, rhythmic detail that secures the vessel to its outer structural cage. Finished in a uniform, matte obsidian wash with subtle gunmetal highlights, the piece balances heavy metallic construction with open negative space, reflecting a contemporary Balinese interpretation of architectural and tribal symbolic patterns.
