Very large size for this embossed brass cooler, Oval shape with gadroon decoration. A large frieze runs around the edge.
Two lion head masks with a ring attached serve as side grips.
Four feet in the shape of lion claws are fixed by a screw and a square brass nut. A zinc basin fits perfectly into the dimensions.
A small ring on the edge makes it easy to remove.
Very beautiful brassware work (see photos of lion's head and claw feet)
