About this work

The five-sided bucket with the attachment pieces is cast. Four sides feature profiling derived from architecture. The fifth side is smooth and forms the back. The bucket flares out towards the upper edge and at the hollow foot. Two sides have an attachment piece, the straight top of which is serrated by chasing. The renewed handle is attached in these pieces. One attachment piece has been repaired.
