A 19th century Indian silver Raj period deep relief repousse work bowl circa 1870
This very high quality piece of impressive Raj period Indian silver is superbly decorated with three dimensional deep relief repousse work in the form of traditional male and female figures carrying out various tasks and religious customs.
The detail and depth of the decoration are very fine and rarely available. This type of decoration is completely hand worked using chisels and punches working from both the inside and outer surfaces to produce this amazing work of art which is finished with deep carved engraving throughout the figurative centre with a boarder of acanthus leaves above and below. The underside of this impressive bowl is decorated with an engraved peacock.
The silver from which the bowl is made tests a high grade.
Indian, circa 1870
