SILVER SHIKARA BOX


Estimate: Rs 50,000-Rs 1,00,000 ( $680-$1,355 )


SILVER SHIKARA BOX

An immensely detailed silver 'mukhwas' box stylised as a Kashmiri shikara houseboat. The box is engraved with dense foliage all over showcasing Chinar leaves as the key aspect and filigree work on the body of the boat. The top deck can be dismantled to reveal an inner plate engraved with Chinar leaves. The plate can be further removed to reveal the six petite boxes that can house a variety of 'mukhwas' or 'post-meal digestive seeds'. With an unmissable attention-to-detail, this box is highly collectible.
