Nepalese Silver Repoussé Offering Bowl Nepal, Kathmandu Valley, late 19th – early 20th century Compressed spherical form, entirely hand-worked in repoussé against a finely chiselled ground, characteristic of Newar silversmithing traditions from the Kathmandu Valley. Decoration: Continuous narrative frieze across two registers depicting figural scenes — possibly processional or ceremonial subjects from Hindu-Buddhist Himalayan iconography. The style and composition differ from the classic Burmese thabeik tradition, aligning more closely with Nepalese metalworking practices. Upper rim: Beaded boss border with corded fillet Lower border: Scrolling geometric and foliate band Base: Flat hammered silver with applied decorative border. No inscription, no hallmarks — consistent with pieces made for native Himalayan clientele Material: Solid silver, approx. 800/1000 standard Dimensions: Diameter 13 cm / Height 7 cm / Weight 292g Condition: Good antique condition, natural aged patina, wear consistent with age and use, no cracks, no repairs Provenance note: The bowl was previously catalogued as Burmese; expert examination confirms a Nepalese attribution.
