About this piece
A long, flared neck and a body engraved from rim to foot.
Indian silversmiths made this rose water sprinkler for puja in the 19th or 20th century. Rose water is commonly sprinkled over guests and devotees, and vessels like this one were made to dispense it in a slow shower. The neck widens at the top into a small cup, with a knop partway down. The round body is covered with fine engraved patterning, and a pedestal foot lifts it. The metal has a warm, golden-grey cast, with a bit of wear along the foot.
About 10 inches tall. A graceful line for a shelf, and light to look at.
