The Cauldron, originally uploaded by malyousif.
My friend Rami, who owns a foundry. got a three of these cauldrons cast in aluminum; the original order was for a christening bowl for a local church and as the mold was done, and it’s a one off, it would have been a waste to waste it, so he did a couple more of these beauties: one for him and another for me. Strangely enough, all of them will be used with water in mind!
Rami put a beautiful fountain and plants in his, I’ll use mine to put some water irises and dog-weed and maybe some fish. I will have to use a small pump to circulate the water a little but haven’t decided how yet.
Anyway, if all else fails, our dear MPs can use it to create some witches brew or boil them in it, I’ve got the wood ready as you see, and I’ll use Filbert to try it out!

Remember Mahmood, simmer Filbert to maximize the flavor of your broth! That’s a pretty bowl.
Filbert on a font – very cute!
Get your minds out of the gutter. This is big enough to use as ahot tub!!!!!!!! 😎
You can’t imagine how much we’re in need of that to store water these days in Oman
