Indus Valley, Taxila Period, 1st - 2nd century AD. Buddhist silvered-bronze prayer bowl.
This deep example is elaborately decorated with ornately etched and hammered design patterns. It makes a classic ringing "OMMMMMMMMM" sound when rubbed in a circular fashion around the inside. A lovely example with a bit of mineral encrustation and signs of extensive usage in ancient times. Large piece, deep and heavy. An amazing addition to even the most discriminating collection. Measures 4 1/2" x 8 1/4 inches. Ex-Khan family collection, Santa Fe, NM. #IV100: $675 SOLD
