Description
ODIOT Paris
A rare and monumental agricultural prize cup in silver-plated bronze, with cast, chiselled and engraved decoration.
The circular base of the pedestal, edged with gadroons, rests on four feet alternating between pairs of
foliated clogs and corbels adorned with acanthus leaves. The pedestal is richly decorated with
amatis cartouches and cascading garlands of fruit and foliage.
The upper bowl rests on a foliage-adorned knot, whilst the base is decorated with fluting. The body of the
bowl features a particularly rich decoration, comprising two protruding ox heads, framed by
garlands of laurel.
On either side of the bowl are two cartouches with cut-leather motifs, each surmounted
by a wreath of oak leaves and two open palms.
