Hello. I am in a ceramics taste in high school and our next assignment is a coil pot. The entire thing doesn't have to be completely bumpy with coils piled up, but at least some of it does.
I can't de facto think of any good inspirations right now.

I was thinking of something pretty complex... I think some indulgent of architecture design of some old civilization... Probably from ancient buildings made of wood logs?

Any sizeable ideas? Thanks :D
picture references too please :)

You could hook it busy with all sorts of coils and things coming out of it. Have some holes in sections or something crawling out the side.
