Indian Enamel Lime Powder Flask
An early 20th century Indian colourful enamelled white metal flask. It features dancers in the main panels with a textured ground in the guilloche style. These panels are surrounded by mosaic forms using the cloisonne technique. There is a cap which is also enamelled. It would have been used to contain slaked lime powder which is used when chewing betel nuts. There is a mark to the base, possibly a silver rupee section. No shortage of colour and an attractive piece for display.
