For your consideration, you are viewing mid-20th Century Tibetan Milk or Ghee Pot. This large antique Nepalese kitchen pot would have been used to store ghee, milk or cream. Each pot has been entirely handcrafted with hand-beaten metal that has been bound and decorated with ornate embossed brass banding and decorative accents, and it has a leather strap that is attached by rings and lugs on either side. I also have another smaller pot in my other listings.
Based on the style and the surface patina, I believe this pot would date from the 1950s or earlier. It has a wonderful rustic mystic appeal from an ancient culture and would make a fantastic decorator item.
#Nepal is located in the Himalayas, nestled between India and Tibet, these pots are also called "Tibetan" or "Indian" "Milk Jugs" or "Ghee Pots." Ghee is a clarified butter, which was created in ancient India and is still used today in cooking, as well as in traditional medicine and sacred rituals. Nepal is Historically known as the birthplace of the Buddha, however, in modern times, the population is predominantly Hindu. The majority of these milk pots were made of wood, so highly decorated pots such as this one, would have had an important place in the kitchen, as in Hindu culture, the cow is a Holy animal and it is sacred, the cow represents the soul in all its aspects, so it is forbidden to partake of the meat, so milk and ghee are only part of the animal that is consumed.
