Miniature Drum with Four Frogs
The bronze drum is round and miniature, with a flared base that tapers up to a narrow middle section and then flares out to a wide top. A lid covers the top. The drum features a bronze color with darker areas suggesting patina. The surface shows signs of wear and aging. The drum's body has a wide base that tapers slightly as it rises. The middle section is narrower than the base and top. The top section flares out to a wide circular lid. The drum features intricate etchings and designs on both the body and the lid. The lid has four frog-shaped handles, one at each cardinal direction. The body has a repeating geometric pattern. The drum sits on a white surface and has a shadow to the left.
