I've been looking for a sturdy plinth to display a favorite abstract kinetic sculpture for years, but if they were "affordable" they looked like junk, and if they were appropriate to the sculpture, they were far beyond my budget.  Then I found these!  So now I have four perfect plinths for my kinetic sculpture, 2 other sculptures, and my favorite dieffenbachia.  All for an unbelievably kind-to-the-pocketbook price!  These are hand hammered metal finished in lacquered bronze tones from India.  Excellent craftsmanship!
