Indian Kutch Snake Handle Silver Jug

Indian (Kutch, Bhuj region) solid silver repoussé water jug.

• Magnificent quality, extremely heavy, the tall tapering body resting on a domed spreading foot, fantastically chased with scrolling leaves and flowers and acanthus leaves on matted ground.
• The jug is applied with a very large sculptural cobra snake, crawling up the side and touching the rim with its tongue.
• Unmarked.
