With a pewter interior and foot, this lac burgaute bowl is inlaid with multiple colored mother of pearl sections, including finely carved leaves, trees, landscape features, people, and architectural elements. Some of the mother of pearl sections are further incised with details, and there are areas where the mop is sprinkled to form a textured background. There are additional fine details inlaid with both gold and silver, one of which is a Buddhist Crown, held aloft by one of the figures. There are 10 figures in all, participating in various activities, and numerous trees and other foliate designs adorn the bowl on all sides. In very good condition, with some losses to the mother of pearl inlay, most notably the faces of the two figures close to the gold crown. The bowl measures 4 5/8" in diameter and is 2 7/8" high. This is an exceptional example of lac burgaute, with the highest quality of inlay, and dates to the 18th century. We have other photos available, so please do not hesitate to request additional views.
