Small Decorative Brass Hindu Urn
About the Item
Small decorative Brass Hindu urn with a crowned head and intricate cast details. Made in India circa 1750. Possibly used for incense on a shrine.
A rare and characterful small brass urn from India, made circa 1750 and likely intended for ceremonial use, possibly to hold incense on a domestic shrine. The piece is crowned with a stylized human head finial, cast in expressive detail with a tiered crown, almond-shaped eyes, and prominent nose, evoking both regal and divine associations. The body is globular and rests on a flared pedestal base, all intricately adorned with incised geometric and linear motifs in horizontal bands. The surface retains a deep, mottled patina developed over centuries of handling and ritual use.
A sculptural object rich in history and symbolism, representing the refined folk craftsmanship of 18th-century Hindu culture.

19th-Century Tibetan Copper and Brass Ritual Vessel with Applied Ornamentation
Located in Middleburg, VA
A richly detailed 19th-century Tibetan ritual vessel, hand-forged from copper and embellished with applied repousse and engraved brass medallions, geometric plaques, and symbolic mounts. Raised on three splayed feet, this bulbous, high-necked vessel features a domed body adorned with a dense array of ritual and decorative appliques, including stylized floral medallions, abstract symbols, and keyhole-like forms that reference tantric iconography.
The vessel's expressive form is punctuated by three protruding spouts and retains its original arched swing handle with pierced brass finials. Meticulously decorated in traditional metalworking techniques, the surface patina reveals a rich, warm interplay between the copper ground and the golden brass overlay. An aesthetic that speaks to both spiritual function and ornamental sophistication.
