About this piece
The silvery wear on its lip shows where hands have been.
Brass seeder from Andhra Pradesh, Southeast India, made in the 19th or 20th century. Seeders of this kind are commonly associated with agricultural use, and this one has the weight and the solid base to suggest it. The wide, flared rim is rubbed bright at the edge, and a ringed neck leads down to a squared block with a hole on each side. A small panel on the front carries faint marks. The surface is olive-brown, with pale scratches and patches of lighter metal.
About 4 inches high and 6 wide. A paperweight with a past.
