Created between 50-800 AD, this exquisite piece is made of cast copper alloy and measures approximately 7.7 x 10.2 cm (3 1/16 x 4 in. ). The intricate details of this container are truly awe-inspiring. The artist skillfully shaped it into the form of a male feline, capturing the grace and power associated with these majestic creatures. Every curve and contour has been meticulously rendered, highlighting the craftsmanship that went into its creation. Symbolism abounds within this ancient artifact.
