AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant silver ceremonial bowl or goblet, worked in relief (repoussé/chiselled), very characteristic of Southeast Asian silversmithing.
Description of the Piece
Type of Object: Ceremonial or ritual water bowl (Burmese Thabeik or Khan Nam Thai/Laotian).
Extremely Decorated: The body features medallion panels divided by vertical bands. Each panel shows relief figures surrounded by foliate arabesques (kanok or scrolls).
Iconography: The panels depict the animals of the Asian zodiac/local astrology.
Region: Myanmar (Burma) or Northern Thailand / Laos (region of the Shan/Lanna cultural ecosystem).
The tradition of engraving the zodiac animals on ceremonial bowls of beaten silver is an iconic element of Burmese handicraft and northern Thai craftsmanship.
Period / Year
Dating: Mid-20th century (roughly between 1920 and 1960).
The patina, the handmade workmanship, and the engraving on the base indicate a vintage 20th-century piece made for export, travel souvenir, or traditional ceremonial use of the era.
Marks on the Base: The engraved base features circular dented decorations and handwritten inscriptions (likely in Asian or Burmese/ Siamese-stylized script, accompanied by marks of silver content or the artisan’s signature).
