Description
An early 19th Century (circa 1840) Chinese cast iron temple bath from the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) featuring repoussé lotus motifs and floral designs along the sides, having the original four cast iron ring handles and standing on decorative mythical creature feet. These vessels were typically used as water baths or ritual troughs in Buddhist or Taoist temples. The lotus petal border (visible around the base of the handle) is a classic symbol of purity in these traditions.
A beautiful aesthetic piece for the interior of a home or for in the garden or on a terrace.
