Identification and Creation Object Number 1932.56.130 Title Large Vessel (one handle missing) Classification Vessels Work Type vessel Date n.d. Places Creation Place: Unidentified Region Period Modern Culture Unidentified culture Persistent Link https://hvrd.art/o/292390 Physical Descriptions Medium Copper alloy Technique Cast and hammered Dimensions 47.1 x 27.1 cm (18 9/16 x 10 11/16 in.) Technical Details Technical Observations: The patina is a coppery dark brown with a thin layer of green in many areas. One handle was cast. The hinged lid and the spout near the bottom are lost. The object is slightly dented in numerous locations. This does not appear to be an antiquity. There is only minor corrosion. It appears to have been made as a replica or as a utilitarian vessel in the style of an antiquity. Except for the cast handles and top spout, the various sheet metal components are held together mechanically by locking into one another, often with the assistance of lead solder. The sheet metal components appear to have hammer marks and to have been formed by raising.
