Ancient Lucknow lion hunting bowl - High-grade silver - lion hunt - India - Late 19th century

Ancient Indian bowl from the Victorian era typical of Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) with detailed repoussé scenes of lion hunting. In sterling silver. Remarkable patina that I slightly removed from the relief figures to observe them in detail (if requested, the patina will be removed before shipping) . Figures are incredibly refined and expressive. Every detail is so accurate that it's stunning, including the decorations at the base of the bowl and stem. 19th-century Locknow workmanship and décor. The inside is hammered. Period: around 1880 or earlier Bowl diameter: approx. 15 cm Height: 11 cm Base diameter: 9. 5 cm Weight: 247 g The opening is not perfectly round, as you can see in the picture, but the repoussé has no dents and the general conditions are good and consistent with the item’s age. A splendid masterpiece of Indian art. Pictures are part of the description. Shipping via UPS/TNT courier.
