Mounted in an upright position, it would make a distinctive addition to any art collection.

This piece was made by local artisans in Turkey/Anatolia using ancient techniques to sell to the affluent visitors who traveled to on year-long educational "Grand Tours" of various archaeologically significant sites between 1780-1920s.
