A LARGE INDIAN SILVER CASKET
A LARGE INDIAN SILVER CASKET
An impressive 19th-century Indian silver casket featuring elaborate pierced decoration, figural handles, and lion paw feet, attributed to the Kutch region.
This large Indian silver casket dates to the 19th century and is likely associated with the Kutch region, renowned for its highly decorative silverwork. The casket is constructed with a stepped, domed hinged lid extensively pierced with openwork floral motifs, repeated across the sides to create a visually rich and airy structure.
The body is further enhanced by tiger’s head finials forming carrying handles, palmette-shaped locking clasps, and a pair of exotic bird-form supports at the rear designed to hold the lid when open. The casket rests on four substantial lion paw feet, reinforcing both its sculptural presence and ceremonial character.
Unmarked, as is common with much regional Indian silver of this period, the piece demonstrates traditional hand-worked techniques and a strong emphasis on surface ornament. Its scale, weight, and complexity suggest it was intended as a prestigious storage or presentation object rather than everyday use.
