A stunning ornate solid silver large trophy cup dating to the British Raj in India. Dated 1924, it commemorates a Golf tournament for the Jute Mills of the Henderson Group. Jute is a long, rough, shiny bast fiber that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. We have not been able to find information on the Henderson Group but it was likely a multinational company based in the United Kingdom. We have another trophy from the previous year listed separately. 

The cup has thick curved handles with a bright mirror like finish. The trophy appears to have been handled minimally over the years. Good condition with light wear and few very small dents. Please review the photos for further assessment. The cup bears full English hallmarks. Heavy and well made, cup alone without base weights 323 grams. Measures 6.25 inches high, 4.75 inches across the top and 3.4 inches across the bottom. It comes with a 4.74 inches by 2.25 inch ebonized wooden base that is removable.
