An irregular, translucent vessel of gilded hog casing and textile is shaped with a wide, bulbous base that tapers into an off-center neck. The entire surface is covered in fine wrinkles and folds, creating a crinkled texture that catches light across small ridges and indentations. The warm gold form is finished with a thick, uneven rim. Its organic shape and luminous surface suggest a sense of delicate weight and volume.
