Medium - Australian recycled pure uncoated copper and recovered beads from discarded jewellery being vintage donkey beads from Iran.
Donkey beads are good luck. Weaved into the form of a Persian Rosewater Sprinkle Bottle, the artist has created a sence of romantic alure that we connect with the middle east while highlighting the stunning blue that has historically been used in Persian/Iranian jewellery.

Persian Sprinkle Bottle
Copper is a magical natural product. Copper does not rust however it will age if subjected to different conditons. The changing of colour in copper that can happen over many years is often desired however if the piece is polished with any of the many polishes available, then the colouring may not appear.
