A nice shot Tom. I am finding these picture very interesting.

Simple and very elegant. (:o)
Tom Wilson: It is indeed, Rosalyn - I'd have made it even less fussy had it been possible.
the shadow is nice on the surfacce
Tom Wilson: Thanks, Chantal.
Ray is right it is an object of simple elegance
Tom Wilson: I've no idea what it was used for - some ritual, I suppose, but its shape certainly pleased me.
What an attractive looking object.
Tom Wilson: Thanks, Brian - glad you think so.
It a lovely urn, I wonder why it has a cover smile
Tom Wilson: I guess it's just a form of protection, Linda.

I had to Google "Um"; I was not sure if it was Korean for "Coppery thing with lid and handles"! I don't think it is. It's ... um... lovely.
Tom Wilson: Er, thanks, Alan - I think?
think that has a little bit of age to it, nice shot, very simple shot but effective
Wonderful patina on it, Tom. It looks as if it may be rather heavy, too; how large is it?
