This is an attractively figured Golden Chain Vase with 2 bands around the widest part of the vase and one band around the base of the vase. It was made from a tree that was removed for road construction in the state of Washington. Several coats of finish were used to help protect the wood's character. It is not intended to hold liquids but, it may be used for dried or silk flowers arrangements. Place it in a prominent place in your home so all can admire its beauty.
