Title
Four Arabic Kohl- or perfume holders – richly decorated BWG silver – Saudi Arabia
Description
Decorative collection of four differently shaped kohl- or perfume holders, reportedly originating from Saudi Arabia. Executed in silver (BWG); the exact silver content has not been established.
The holders are richly decorated with applied scroll- and wirework, bead rims and geometric ornaments. The different silhouettes, from slender tubular forms to a globular specimen on a foot, form an attractive whole.
Furnished with caps, chains and loose rods. These rods point to possible use as kohl holders for traditional eye makeup.
