Nillumbik Shire Council
Sculpture: Anthony PRYOR (b.1951- d.1991 Melb, AUS), Paretaio, 1985
In the early 1970s, Arthur Boyd bought and restored a large, two-storey traditional farmhouse called Il Paretaio. Situated on the crest of a hill and surrounded by fields and olive groves, it is five kilometres from the village of Palaia in the province of Pisa, Tuscany. Boyd established this farmhouse as a residency programme, (which was later managed by the Australia Council). The residency program ended in 1990. Anthony Pryor undertook an Australia Council residency at Paretaio in 1984. This work is one in a series made during his time there. This work was entered into the Shire of Eltham Art Award in 1985.Pryor is an artist of national significance. This work is an example of his series of 'boxes' made principally for his own pleasure and often swapped with artists and other friends as soon as they were finished. The 'box' series was part inspired by Japanese techniques of wooden construction. Pryor first visited Japan in 1975 and was immediately drawn to Japanese methods of working with stone and wood. Many of these boxes are based upon the principles of the Japanese Zen Buddhist monk Sengai Gibon (1750-1838). This work relates to Sengai's famous hanging scroll Circle, Triangle and Square in which the circle can be read to stand for the cosmos, the square for the individual, and the triangle for aspiration. A heavy, box-like (cube) structure created from huon pine, with bronze, brass and stone elements. Within the cube is an eastern inspired, rear lattice wall in combination with bronze domestic fittings, and symbols (cube, pyramid and circle). Metal lightning, clouds and wooden rainbow hover over an asymmetrical bronze bed floating within the cube. A chair leans and a tilting ladder reaches towards the sky.

Domestic object - Steel Pot
This type of pan was commonly used for cooking, heating liquids, or melting materials over an open flame. Given its deep basin and sturdy handle, it may have been used as a fireplace or camping pan. Similar metal pans were used in farmhouse kitchens, blacksmith shops, or outdoor fire pits. Due to its heavily rusted and perforated condition, it is no longer functional but serves as a historical artifact.A round metal pan with a deep basin, showing significant rust and corrosion. The pan has a sturdy metal handle attached to the rim, allowing it to be hung or carried. The rim of the pan is slightly bent, suggesting heavy use over time. The interior surface is badly rusted with flaking metal and holes, indicating it has been exposed to moisture for an extended period.pot, saucepan, fry pan, cooking, kitchen, household item, fire, woodstove -

Domestic object - Enamel Cooking Scoop
Likely used in kitchens, bakeries, or dairies for scooping liquids, grains, flour, or milk. Common in early to mid-20th century farmhouses, enamelware was a durable and sanitary choice before the widespread use of plastic and stainless steel. The wooden handle suggests it was meant for handling hot substances without burning the user’s hands. Could have been used for pouring batter, scooping milk, or measuring dry goods.Enamel Ladle or Cooking Scoop. A white enamel bowl with a rounded shape, deep enough for scooping or pouring liquids or grains. A blue rim lines the upper edge of the bowl, though it shows chipping and wear in places. A wooden handle, turned and shaped for grip, is attached with a metal connector to the bowl. The handle appears to be light-coloured wood, possibly beech or pine, and has signs of age and wear.cooking, kitchen, scoop, food, household item -

Domestic object - Egg Cruet
Egg cruets like this were commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to hold and serve boiled eggs in homes, restaurants, and hotels. The wire construction suggests it was a functional kitchen or dining table accessory, likely used in farmhouses or rustic settings rather than in formal dining settings where porcelain egg cups were preferred. These types of egg cruet stands allowed diners to easily access multiple eggs at once, making them practical for breakfast tables, egg transportation, or market displays.The item is a metal wire egg cruet, a specialized holder designed to store or serve eggs. It consists of: A central twisted metal rod, running through the middle to provide structural support. Multiple circular wire compartments arranged symmetrically around the central rod, each designed to hold an individual egg securely. A circular wire base, providing stability and support. The entire structure has a rusted and aged appearance, with signs of oxidation and corrosion, indicating significant use over time.cruet, eggs, chicken, poultry, household item -

Decorative object - Cast Iron Tiles (3)
These tiles were likely decorative stove plates, used on cast iron stoves or fireplace surrounds in the late 19th to early 20th century. The raised floral motif suggests a Victorian or Edwardian era design, as ornate cast iron stoves were popular in homes and public buildings. Their heat-resistant properties made them suitable for use in wood-burning or coal-burning stoves. Similar tiles were often used as ornamental stove surrounds, wall accents, or architectural features in early farmhouses, kitchens, or parlours.A set of three square cast iron tiles, each featuring a raised floral or sunburst pattern in the center. The tiles have a weathered appearance, with remnants of white or light gray paint, showing signs of age, corrosion, and wear. Each tile is slightly different in size but follows the same decorative design, suggesting they were part of a coordinated set.building, decoration, construction, moulds -
