A rare and delicately made copper and silver Tibetan ewer. Second half 18th century. Silver fittings at base of the spout and spout opening also at the rim and base and a silver embossed three bird emblem representing the circle of life on both sides. Beautiful patina and in very good condition. Museum quality object. H. 17 cm. or appr. 6"7
(I was told that the ewer might have been used with the practice/ritual of a sky burial.)
