'Three-Legged Shallow Vessel'

This three-legged shallow vessel arose from the dross of a previous project.  The hammered sheet form was originally a left ear 'discard' from an elephant lamp I made a couple of years ago.  The ear was such a lovely shape that I held on to the remnant, and now the discard has a new life.    

My hoarding paid off for a social charity requesting an item for its silent auction.  Suitable for holding jewelry, wrapped candies, or keys, the proceeds from this piece will help fund educational scholarships for deserving women.
