Wow, Gavin is right...Superb piece Rick! Great condition! Definitely a fine example of the wonderful silver & ivory Burmese craftsmanship. (Burmese hands down no question)
Here are some similar examples, but none quite the level of silverwork...fantastic. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=6348 http://dharesearch.bowditch.us/0057.htm http://dharesearch.bowditch.us/C0036.htm Thanks for sharing Rick! Last edited by Nathaniel; 18th April 2011 at 04:57 AM. |

Yes I was wondering Burma but not sure. For sure the repousse is fantastic as well as the ivory carving!
