The painted fish is typical for India and I have seen a lot from Rajastan.
The Ottoman form brass scoop is classic. They are found across the region.  |
Hi Ibrahiim.
Thanks for your response and the Link. Yes, the spout assembly is probably camel bone. And, as you mention, the powder measure seems to be common across the Region. I too have seen a few offered on-line. But it was nice to be able to inspect this one first and note the good working conditon. And get it for a reasonable price. Thanks again.
