The Newari or Newar people are indigenous to the Kathmandu Valley and surrounding areas of Nepal. For centuries they have been known for their artwork. Metal craftsmanship – such as this bowl – is world-renowned for exquisite beauty.
Puja bowls or pots are often used for offering food to Deities during religious ceremonies.
In this near-perfect condition, this bowl is thought to be from the mid- to late-1800s. Consecration symbol on bottom.
