The rim of the crystal-beaded bowl has been crafted from brass with gilt acanthus leaf motifs. Acanthus leaf motifs were used extensively by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The shining gold color of the leaves draws the eye in, especially since it is contrasted with the patinated brass. The matching canopy at the top is attached to an adjustable center stem that can be used to adjust the height of the pendants.
