Sculptural cut in travertine

Sculptural bowl in travertine featuring a wide, gently curved rim extending into an asymmetrically placed flat inner basin. Its profile is low and disc-shaped, tapering from a wide round edge to a completely round base. Due to this gentle and continuous slope, the bowl appears to float just above the surface on which it rests. The asymmetrical shape of the top and the completely round base create a striking and interesting balance. The bowl seems timeless and not tied to a particular era, suitable for placement in an ancient monastery, a sculptor's workshop, or an elegant home. The travertine bears the marks of time with fine mineral pores, small irregularities, and muted tonal variations visible across its surface. It can be used as a decorative or functional piece. It can hold fruit, keys, or nothing at all.
