le vase kalasha aux bords largement évasés séparé par quatre petits pieds de la base formée d'une fleur de lotus émergeant d'un piédouche circulaire, à décor de lotus épanouis dans des rinceaux fleuris, le socle lotiforme ciselé de façon naturaliste, la base décorée de vagues stylisées, le pied souligné d'une frise de pétales, le col de têtes de ruyi
Condition
The piece is composed of 7 individual parts that are connected by a central internal rod held together by a screw inside the base. The gilding is rich with very light overall wear. There are some small overall losses to the enamels, particularly at the base and to the lotus petals. There is a crack running through the turquoise enamel near the base of the central part (with the ribbons) and the two gikt ribbons have been reinforced with glue where the upper part joins the gilt-copper sash.
