Engraved Tribal Brass Vase with Nude Figures – 5″ Folk Art Vessel

£ 25.00

On offer is a captivating and boldly decorated vintage vase, standing at 5 inches tall, crafted from richly patinated brass — or possibly bronze, judging by the darker core visible inside. Encircling the bulbous body are hand-engraved nude tribal-style figures, each rendered with stylized faces, ornamentation, and dot-work details in rhythmic repetition.

A piece full of visual intrigue, cultural expression, and aged beauty, this vessel carries both artistic and anthropological interest. Whether used as a sculptural accent, collector’s item, or conversation starter, it brings with it a sense of story and soul.

📌 Key Features:

✅ Material: Brass with inner tone suggesting possible bronze (patina or over-cleaned restoration)

✅ Decorative band of nude figures – primitive, symbolic linework across full circumference

✅ Dimensions: Approx. 5″ tall

✅ Condition: Good vintage condition with age-consistent wear and verdigris; interior shows deep natural patina

✅ Technique: Hand-etched / engraved designs; likely made using traditional punching and chiseling methods

✅ Origins: Likely Indian subcontinent, mid-20th century, possibly tribal or village artisan

💡 Styling Tip:
This vessel makes a dramatic vignette anchor on a bookshelf, altar, or side table — especially when paired with rustic wood, textiles, or antique metal. Can also be styled with dried flowers or left empty to spotlight its decorative form.

🎁 Perfect For:
✔️ Collectors of tribal, folk, or ethnographic art
✔️ Lovers of symbolic and expressive metalwork
✔️ Designers seeking rich patina and sculptural texture
✔️ Thoughtful gifting for those who appreciate cultural depth

🔍 Provenance / Maker Notes:
While unsigned, the piece is evocative of traditional craft from rural India or Pakistan, where such vessels were often decorative or ceremonial. The repetitive nude motifs may reference fertility, ancestral spirits, or ritual figures — typical in folk symbolism.
