Loutrophoros Tree Ornament

The loutrophoros (Greek: λουτροφόρος; ‘water-carrier’) is a large jar used to hold the water for a Greek bride’s ritual pre-wedding bath. Loutrophoroi were also placed on the graves of people who died unmarried. They are often decorated with wedding or funerary scenes.

Laser-cut gold or silver mirrored acrylic. Engraved laurel leaf and berry chain detail inspired by the motifs found on ancient Greek pottery.
