A lidded bowl in patinated bronze with a wide, shallow form set on a low turned foot and flanked by two solid cylindrical handles. The lid rises gently to a stepped, engraved knob, echoing the concentric turning visible across the bowl's rim. The bronze has darkened unevenly with age, giving the surface a soft, cloud-like patina that varies from warm brown to near black.

The proportions are quietly architectural and sit well with both the Nilsson & Johansson attribution and the wider 1930s Swedish interest in a reduced, classical form.
