Description

This conical bowl gives prominence to one of Lévy-Dhurmer most unusual and mysterious Symbolist décors. Meticulously painted plant roots create an overall design that borders on abstraction. Perhaps they represent the fecundity of the earth, or the subterranean origins of life. Marks: painted CM, Golfe-Juan (AM), stamped Clement Massier, Golfe-Juan (AM), L Levy
