Indonesian Silver Bowl with Scenes of Hanuman

This Indonesian solid silver bowl measures approximately eight inches in diameter by 4 1/2 inches in height. It weighs about 600 grams or 20 ounces.

It is covered all over with heavy repousse scenes from the life of Hanuman: The Monkey God. One scene show him speaking to a crowd of his followers. The other is a fierce battle scene with many combatants, along with chariots drawn by a horse and a mythological beast.

The level of craftsmanship on this bowl is outstanding. It is not at all overstating to describe this as museum quality.

It dates from the late 19th century through the early 20th century.

It is in outstanding condition with a nice patina over most of the exterior.

It is marked and signed on the bottom within a circle set within a fluted star pattern (see the close up photograph).
