The use of moriage (raised enamel) adds tactile depth and a distinct texture to the surface. The upper rim is crowned with an openwork, crown-like bronze gallery with a dark, aged patina, while the robust circular base—also bronze—is richly adorned with relief decorations and gilded accents, standing on four stylized feet with subtle golden highlights.
