[01-1132] A silver box 79g, 2 7/8 x 1 7/8 x 1 inch has an embossed Lion dog within a floriated surround, embossed side borders and the base has a checker board design. I assume may be of Indian/Burmese origin? There are two punches inside the base, one looks like an irate rodent wielding a rod(?) and a maker's mark "AA". Has any reader noted this mark or can throw any light on to its origin?

These marks are not Islamic (at least not any that I've seen) and it's possible this is a replica of a medieval romanesque design? IP: Logged |
