Sardian basket
The artefact
The irregular shape of this large ceramic plate tells a momentous story finely drawn with graphic and pictorial trait and populated by an oneiric world of animals with horses, lapwings and other naturalistic elements in very light nuanced shades. Handcrafted and engraved on the edges so as to evoke the intertwined Sardinian baskets, it is produced as a highly decorative centerpiece, designed to be hung on the wall like an elegant painting.
