Unusual, I can't really place it. The handle with the padding makes me think of an Indian dhal, but the form and decoration seem from further East ? So, maybe South-East Asia somewhere. Its a bit like a Japanese jingasa, but probably not that. The lotus flower ? decoration is probably a clue.
Hopefully someone else can identify it accurately. Last edited by colin henshaw; 5th May 2017 at 09:11 AM. |

I've only seen one other and it was a very high end example, also red in colour.
Nothing comes to mind as far as origins but but the flavour to me is mid to north East African, however the internals, the grip, appears for the most to my eye as SEA. I hope this tough nut is cracked as I was most intrigued with the previous example and most interest to know there is another of the type. Gavin |
