This hand pounded cutie bird was beautifully handcrafted by Cambodian silversmiths. It is a another example of the traditional Cambodian silver divided animal. And you will see a few more examples of this style (an elephant, deer, and parrot) in my next post. I promise it will be very interesting!
One of the more functional types of decorative boxes are snuff boxes, now largely a relic of the once popular practice of taking "snuff". These were once an important assessory for anyone needing to containerize betel nut, opium, balms, traditional medicines, and small jewels.
This cutie bird will be a special gift from Cambodian or an ideal for collectors of unique handicrafts.
It's dimensions are 4" Long (tail to beak) x 2" H x 2" W.
