Two formal vases form the foundation from which the pomegranate motifs spring. The fruit of the pomegranate trees are the most prominent feature, with everything else serving as a supporting element. The pomegranates are stylized to represent both mature and developing fruit, which brings to mind a connection of the present to the future and the abundance that the future will bring.

Its soft rug colors will make it stand out and its overall design would make it an excellent piece to go under a dining room table or to highlight another fine piece of furniture. It lends itself well to both traditional and modern or contemporary designs.
