Its so beautiful, I thought I'd take a chance.
It's sort of like a chatelaine but....... Could it be for a more 'sinister' purpose? Extremely fine quality, high grade silver, high relief repouse figure of Rama with his bow. (If its just for keys or something mundane, it'll be for the block!) ![]() ![]() |

Never seen anything like it. It is quite beautiful, though.

Thanks Mark. The figure of Rama is superb, amazingly detailed and not too rubbed over the years.
Any thoughts on Origin or use? |

Nice deep repousse work. Always in awe of this type of work.

Interesting piece...I love the repousse silver work as well. I would love to add a repoussed silver dha to the collection sometime with figures such as this...it was fantastic seeing Mark's at the Seminar this spring!
What is puzzling to me is why most of these heavily silver repousse swords appear to be exclusive to Burma? Would you say Burman to be specific Mark? (Along with the Koftgari would be burman? Versus Kachin/ Shan. I'm sure the Koftgari was picked up from neighboring India.) I've seen beautiful repoussed bowls from northern Thailand and Laos. http://www.chiangmai-chiangrai.com/s..._thailand.html |
