Mughal Brass Peacock Engraved Ewer, Late 19th Century

About the Item

The ewer, a ceremonial pitcher, is shaped in the form of a majestic peacock, a significant motif in Mughal art symbolizing beauty, grace, and regality. The body of the ewer is crafted from high-quality brass, a metal often favored by Mughal artisans for its malleability and ability to hold intricate engravings. The peacock's long, sweeping tail feathers are intricately engraved with fine details, showcasing the artisan's skill and attention to realism. Each feather is meticulously defined, creating a sense of movement and capturing the elegance of the bird in mid-display. The plumage features delicate patterns of geometric designs, typical of Mughal decorative arts. The peacock's body serves as the main vessel of the ewer, with a gracefully curving neck leading up to the spout. The neck and spout are adorned with additional engravings, depicting floral patterns, scrolling vines. The handle of the ewer, emerging from the peacock's back, is designed for both functional and aesthetic purposes. The base of the ewer is adorned with a decorative pedestal, providing stability and serving as an extension of the artistic theme. The entire piece finished with a rich patina, adding warmth and depth to the brass surface and enhancing the overall visual appeal. This Mughal Brass Peacock-shaped Engraved Ewer would not only be a practical vessel but also a work of art, reflecting the cultural and artistic sophistication of the Mughal era in the late 19th century.
