Blending artistry with function, this contemporary gem-set priming flask is a revival of exquisite craftsmanship once nearly lost to time. Carved from jade, its tapering end features a ram’s head in high relief, dramatically dispensing gunpowder from the mouth. The floral lid, inlaid with rubies and emeralds, evokes the opulence of royal Mughal design traditions. Gilt silver fittings and intricate stone inlay complete the piece, paying homage to the grandeur of historic arms while showcasing a modern dedication to traditional artistry.
