Two silver repoussé bowls with figural relief Burma, incised inscriptions to the base within a floral emblem, 19th /20th c. D. 15/ 20 cm Weight: 207 g/ 590 g From a German private collection, assembled between 1970 and 1995 - Burmese silver offering bowls are characteristic examples of traditional Burmese silverwork, distinguished by their finely worked repoussé decoration and forms inspired by Buddhist monks’ alms bowls. Used for religious offerings, they also served as expressions of wealth and social status. Rather than hallmarks, they often bear the owner's name engraved on the underside. In Theravada Buddhism, the value of the silver vessels was associated with the accumulation of karmic merit, and they were frequently lent to relatives and friends for religious offerings - Minor traces of use
