The artwork, known as “Buddha Bucket,” is a piece of Viking art dated to around c. 800. Crafted using enamel and brass, this sculpture exemplifies the art movement known as Viking art. The artist is credited under the moniker “Viking art.”
The artwork consists of a large wooden bucket bound and decorated with brass accents. The handles are also fashioned from brass, exuding both utility and decorative elegance. The larger bucket features an intricate square design near the top, which appears to be executed in enamel, adding a touch of color and detailed craftsmanship. The smaller bucket follows a similar design but is more simplistic, reflecting the utilitarian aesthetic prevalent in the Viking art movement. Both pieces convey a sense of robust functionality coupled with artistic flair, indicative of the cultural and material practices of the Viking era.
