Crescent-shaped and richly adorned, this silver kashkul embodies the spiritual resonance of Sufi tradition and the decorative finesse of Kashmiri metalwork. The terminals take the form of stylized makara heads with suspension loops, anchoring the vessel with mythical energy. The body is intricately chased with bands of poppy flowers, chinar leaves, and scrolling foliage, motifs drawn from the region’s native flora. Even the raised border and foot are chased in matching detail, creating a harmonious surface of dense ornament. This kashkul blends devotional form with Kashmir’s celebrated ornamental style.
