I think it was originally designed to be seen in the round (viewed from all directions), as the handles are finished on both sides. It may have been cast in 2 pieces, and the back half is now missing. I would be interested in seeing the bottom of the piece, to see if there is any evidence of a pedestal base (like the example above) that is also now missing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
