|a South Asia has a long tradition of fine metalwork. Long-necked flasks have been produced from at least the sixteenth century, and seem to have been of particular significance in the Islamic culture in Persia and India. They feature as a motif in architectural decoration, painted or carved on the wall surface, and also in contemporary court paintings. Indian metalwork with silver inlay against a blackened metal background made from a predominantly zinc alloy is called bidri ware. This flask dates to the late nineteenth century, when many craft industries flourished as a result of the industrial exhibitions in South Asia and Europe. A similar flask in the Victoria and Albert Museum from Purnea in Bihar dates to the 1860s (V&A 02949 (IS)) (Text by Crispin Branfoot, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.) |
