Posted By: Bill H Sun, Oct 11, 2020 I'm inclined to speculate this is pre-1948 silver from the Shan State in British ruled Burma, which was treated at the time as the easternmost province of India. The foliated repoussé panel may depict a reclining Buddha beneath the protective hood of a multiheaded naga. The individual at the right may be an acolyte, and appears possibly to be wearing a Shan-style headdress. |
