Cloud-Form Brass Folding Stand

Crafted with cloud-form flourishes, this Sino-Tibetan brass stand dates to the early 20th century and was likely used to elevate a decorative or ritual bowl. The small stand neatly folds together from a central hinge and is engraved with a simple outline and double fish embellishments. One of the Eight Treasures of the Buddha, the double fish motif conveys blessings of abundance and good fortune.
