I chose this piece because I thought it was the coolest thing i could find on any of the websites other than a 2,000 year old sculpture of a frog. I think the leaves, flowers, and fishnet-ish design at the top in black and white balance somehow perfectly with the plain white bottom, showing that elaborate design can exist in the same place as plainness an d not overpower it.
