Mughal Silver Rose Water Sprinkler
OLD SOUQ
(see more by this artist)
This 19th century silver rose water sprinkler is 7.5 inches high in great condition and age old patina is visible on the surface.The floral patterns on all the sides are very intricate and a fine example of Mughal arteseans.Hand-held rose-water sprinklers, traditionally made with long straight necks and bulbous bottoms, have a time-honored role in festivities in much of the Muslim world. To mark the end of a wedding feast, rose water is sprinkled on the hands and faces of guests. Aesthetic appreciation and commercial demand have encouraged silversmiths and other artisans to develop exceptionally beautiful sprinklers, examples of which can be found in museums throughout the Arabian Gulf region. In the home, a precious rose-water sprinkler is a symbol of hospitality and, incidentally, a demonstration of social standing and affluence.Authenticity of my items is unconditionally guaranteed.
