About this piece
The longest neck of the bunch, and the plainest.
Indian silversmiths made this rose water sprinkler for puja in silver in the 19th or 20th century. Sprinklers of this form are commonly used to scatter perfumed water at ceremonies and on holy images. A pedestal foot with a ribbed rim supports a squat body decorated with a band of floral motifs. Above it, the neck rises long and nearly smooth to a small flower-shaped tip, with a thin ring at the midpoint. The metal has a warm gray, slightly yellow patina.
About 12 inches tall. A spare silhouette that makes a statement by saying less.
