Description: | Hand-pinched copper sculpture in an A-line form decorated in the traditional Japanese 'shippo', or cloisonne' technique. The interior is decorated in multiple layers of turquoise enamel, whilst the exterior has a bright white enamel coating. Both surfaces have been built up through repeated applications of enamel and firings. Decorating the exterior are hand-cut circular discs in gold and silver leaf. Like the enamel layers, these are built up to form a relief pattern and may have undergone up to ten firings to fuse them to the body.
