£175.00
Item number: 366/56//68

A rare and unusual heavy solid silver Indian antique offering or serving spoon. It is unmarked but test as high grade silver. I would date it to c1880. It has been unusually designed with the base of the stem being in the form of two birds and the terminal in the form of a deity behind this are snakes. It is in superb condition being free from dings splits and repairs. It measures approx. 7 inches (18cm) long by 1.75 inches (4.3cm) wide and weighs 98 grams. A very unusual example.
