Copper vessel with lid on a wooden Badrapeeth used for worship of Saligram (Banalingas) and Parthishor on Sawan Purnamashi by Kashmiri Pandits in the past. At present the use of these artifacts is no longer in practice. |
A closer view of the above wooden Badrapeeth showing fine artistic carvings. |
Wooden tumbler and cups made of wood at Anantnag (South Kashmir). This art is no longer in vogue The artisans since long have taken to walnut carvings . All these items have been used by my grand parents 1868-1954 approx. and at present are in my personal collection |
Not an antique but an elephant shaped tea cosy . [Apparently quite appreciated in the west] |
