Model of a Flowering Urn

This carved wooden ornament features an openwork design of interlaced leaves and flowers arranged in a symmetrical, tree like form. The pierced surface creates depth and shadow, while the dense foliate pattern suggests growth and movement. It rests on a turned and painted base, which adds contrast to the natural wood above. The piece functions as a decorative object, combining carving with a strong vertical silhouette.
