Whose Real Name No One Knew

A couple weeks ago Dad brought this really cool Asian pot-like thing home from work.  Ever since, we've been trying to figure out what it is.  Our research led to something called a Garden Stool, which was a little anticlimactic.  Yesterday we cleaned it up and today it will go up in the loft.  I haven't quite figured out where it will go, and if I'll put something on top of it or not, but it'll be beautiful up there against the grey carpet.
