This sculptural, ceramic garden seat reinvents the barrel shape of classic Chinese drum stools. Slip casted in low relief, a pattern of boss-head nails rings the top and bottom, imitating those used to stretch hide on an actual drum. The gently curved sides are decorated with a pattern of interlocking coins, a motif for good fortune and prosperity. The coin design is perforated and open, molded with a ribbed texture that resembles coiled rope or bamboo lashing. A soft, matte glaze of dark grey color cloaks the exterior, dense and opaque like black slate or gunmetal grey. Suitable for outdoor use, the glazed drum layers into modern interiors as an easy side table, patio table or garden stool. Additional Dimensions: Diameter of Seat: 14.25"
