Bowl, South Asian, Indian; applied art vessel 19th/20th century. Depicts hunting iconography: galloping rider on horseback, tigers, horses, elephants, warriors, plants. Weight 155 g; height 5.4 cm; diameter 8.0 cm., A small rounded metal vessel sits against a pale gray background, its surface showing a lustrous silver color with slightly darker toned areas where texture and relief appear. The body of the vessel features a decorative band with raised sculpted scenes in the same silver hue: a few stylized plant forms, a group of animal-like figures with open mouths and raised limbs, and a human-like figure in a dynamic pose. The rim and base are smoother and shinier, while the central decorative area has a more matte, textured appearance. Several leafy motifs and clustered rounded shapes are incorporated into the relief, and the piece rests on a reflective surface that shows a faint silver-toned reflection.
