Description: | A pomander is a perforated box designed to contain a fragrant substance. This pomander has a rocking base designed to disturb the contained substance, releasing the fragrance. 'Reclining Pomander' is part of a series of work by Rebecca de Quin, looking at the relationship between inside space and outside surface. The interior of this box is made intriguing by the application of gold leaf, seen through unusually shaped perforations.
