Copper water lily on a leaf

This is a copper version of the beautiful and graceful water lily (lotus flower) found in the ponds of large houses and stately homes. The water lily has a delicate flower with many layered petals. Each of these petals has been carefully shaped to create the stunning flower.   The copper on the lily flower has been polished, while the leaf/pad has been lightly polished.

Water lilys only have a flower for a short time in nature, but this one will flower forever.

The water lily or lotus flower is associated with patience, purity, enlightenment and rebirth or regeneration.

This is the gift for anyone with a birthday in July.

The water and leaf is 19cm (7 1/2 inches) long, 16cm (6 1/4 inches) wide and 4cm (1 1/2 inches) high.
