Beautiful, charming, and warm. Congratulations! Did you photograph this piece, Peter?
The reason I asked is that it's a very sympathetic arrangement and consequently a beautiful photograph. :) I think I can tell when it is your photo vs. a dealer's photo. Your love of the pieces comes through.
I agree: lovely picture of a lovely item!
May I ask about the pendant's measurements, Peter?
Betty
Dear Betty and Lynn; Many thanks for your comments. The pendant measures 5x4.5cm. Please find above a photo of a silver tabaco egg, which I have purchased during my first trip to Indonesia in Sumatra 32 years ago. The similarity of the two items' design is amazing isn't it? With kind regards. Peter
Thank you, Peter! The Indonesian tobacco egg is lovely. Indonesian silver is quite sth., but rather rarely seen here. Thanks for posting it. Regards, Betty
I have a Bulgarian friend here by my side at the moment. She suggests that the container is actually a Bulgarian snuff container. Do you think that`s possible, Peter?
Both items seem to have an affinity with betel and lime containers.
