RESIN OVER BRASS VASE-LARGE, 19-VERY DETAILED-RARE-GREAT COLOR. THIS THING IS AWESOME. PREOWNED SO HAS THE EXPECTED BLEMISHES AND SCRATCHES. I DO NOTE SOME DISCOLORATION AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF VASE. STILL A GREAT PIECE. HAS AN INDENTION DOWN ONE SIDE. LOOKS LIKE THE BACK OF THE VASE TO ME. EITHER WAY, WAY KOOL VASE. IT IS BRASS AND ALUMINUM. IF YOU WANT A VERY UNIQUE VASE, HERE IT IS.
