Shaped like a drifting crescent boat, this silver kashkul conjures the quiet grace of Sufi traditions. At either end, stylized mythical beast-head handles, their expressive forms anchoring each end. The body is densely adorned with finely chased motifs inspired by Kashmir’s native flora, including chinar leaves, poppy flowers, and coriander sprigs, transforming local plant life into lyrical ornament. A pierced rim and foot add lightness to its form, exemplifying the region’s refined silverwork and its blend of spiritual symbolism and natural beauty.
