限定アジアアートオークション (プライベートコレクション)

20世紀初頭の、6点セットのカンボジア産純銀製の象をかたどった動物形ベテル箱が、さまざまなサイズと装飾スタイルで展示される魅力的なコレクションです。

A charming collection of six Cambodian Solid Silver zoomorphic betel boxes, all modelled in the form of elephants and presented in a variety of sizes and decorative styles, dating to the early 20th century.

These animal-shaped boxes belong to the Southeast Asian tradition of betel boxes, traditionally associated with the storage of betel nut and related ingredients. Elephant-form examples are particularly decorative and reflect the importance of the elephant in Southeast Asian culture.

Each piece has been individually worked with chased, engraved and repoussé-style decoration, featuring ornamental saddle cloths, floral and geometric motifs, textured skin, expressive facial details and raised decorative elements. The six pieces vary in size, form and workmanship, making this an attractive and highly decorative group when displayed together.

Condition
