A robust, wide-bodied terracotta urn featuring four small, symmetrical looped handles positioned around a thick, gilded rim. The exterior is coated in a heavily textured alabaster lime-wash, providing a rustic, stone-like foundation for delicate hand-carved relief work. Rhythmic, vertical vines and singular blooming lotus petals are etched into the clay using the Ukir technique, each motif highlighted with a subtle champagne-gold patina that lends a regal, ceremonial quality to the piece. This vessel balances its solid, earthy form with fine, light-catching details inspired by the ornate carvings found in Balinese temple architecture, resulting in a timeless artisanal object that emphasizes tactile depth and weathered elegance.
