Description

This piece is a double container with an enamel plate set into the top lid. The plate is etched with a photo taken of a wall in Pompeii then covered with layers of enamel.  Within the layers of enamel certain areas are worn away or built up, as though time has taken it’s toll on the enamel. Garnets are set into the bayonet catch for the bottom container which is slightly offset from center, creating just a little tension. The feet on the bottom container though irregular and playful are suggestive of arches.
