Surma pots were made in every scale — from the finger-sized to the ceremonial piece that sat at the centre of a dressing tray and was rarely moved. Eight to twelve inches is not a pocket piece. This is a statement piece: a surmadani that has presence in a room.
Solid brass, hand-worked, collected from the subcontinent's antique market. The larger scale holds the engraving differently — more room for the pattern to breathe, more surface for the light to move across. A collector's object that has graduated from daily use to display.
