Beasts of Mountains and Seas · Lushu in the Wind

Mountains and seas take form; wondrous creatures enter the guard. Beasts of Mountains and Seas · Lushu in the Wind uses an upright oval outline and black-brown colored brass. Warm-brass lines and small silver-white and muted red details continue the collection’s shared material direction. Lushu walks right along the upper arc. Tiger-like lines mark its horse-shaped body, while a silver-white head and muted red tail tip create small focal points. Two distant ridges along the lower rim anchor the open field. Shallow relief surrounds a single central aperture, with the whole composition enclosed by a plain thin rim. The reverse retains one short wind line at upper left and two distant ridges at lower right. Black wrapping, ivory diamond windows and plain warm-brass fittings echo one another.
