Indian Rose Water Sprinkler for Puja

Darker, heavier, and covered in repoussé flowers.

This rose water sprinkler for puja was made in India in silver in the 19th or 20th century. Such sprinklers are often used to scatter rose water during rituals, festivals and hospitality. The body is a full, rounded bowl embossed with large flowers and scrolling leaves, above a foot with a lobed, petal-like rim. The slim neck is decorated in bands of engraving and ends in a small, flat flower. The surface has aged to a dark, almost gunmetal gray.

About 11 inches tall. The most ornate of its kind, and entitled to it.
