| Description | Measuring bowl. Lost wax-brass. Size between ser and poi. Possibly Dumka or Purulia because of the upside-down tear drop design around the top or because of the bulge of the curve being at the shoulder rather than at the waist. Wire threads not smoothed out because it is wax. Beat up a little. One dent and small hole. Covered with dark crust of what looks like greasy kitchen dirt. |
