Antique Questions Forum / Interesting French Piece!!!!

« on: January 07, 2009, 09:33:59 am »

I received this gift from a family friend about 10 years back.....I didn't get much info on it, just that she had paid top dollar for this piece.  I enjoyed it very much and held on to it since.  It appears to be a large very heavybucket or planter which I believe is bronze, surrounded by 41- French 2 Francs (earliest franc dated 1941) and 1 coin from Marocco.  I think that it is odd that the Marocco piece was thrown on there.  Is there a reason why?  Is this piece of French origin?  Any idea what exactly it was used for? The pictures should speak for themselves, I would like to know the history of this piece....Please help me!!!!! Thank you!
