Fine 16/17thC Northern Thai (stone) Container. The silver is a modern replacement, as the original silver or gold was almost certainly melted down long ago during one of their conflicts with Burma. This same hard stone was used to make small, fine Buddha images, and this piece was likely for ritual use in a temple. Stands 3 3/4 Inches tall. I purchased them from a collector, from whom I mostly bought antique crystal, glass, stone Buddhas, and other antique crystal and stone pieces. Domestic shipping is included, and international shipping is $50, including packing and insurance to anywhere in the world.
