Description
This exquisite decades old Kooja is a rare find that continues to slowly become a relic of an era long gone. Exceptionally crafted in bronze, this radiant vessel is set on a raised circular base, and follows traditional form and design with its characteristic large bowl at the bottom and a cinched in neck. The kooja’s handle is kept simple and in a looped form and juts out from the screw top lid allowing for easy use. The lower half of the piece has been engraved in a Tamil script by it’s previous owners in a traditional hand hammered fashion. This beautiful vessel has seen decades of use and bears proof of its age on its richly patinated surface.
