    Antique Burmese Repousse Bronze Box With Jakata Story Figures

    Burma
    Late 19th-Early 20th century
    16 x 11 cm 8 cm high

     
    A skilled metalworker in Burma made this beautifully embossed and lidded box. The figures throughout represent episodes from Jakata Tales, or previous lives of the Buddha that are familiar to the people of Burma.
     
    The handsome rectangular shape could peg this as a box for cheroots or locally enjoyed cigars. This type of elegant object was used for many utilitarian and decorative purposes in aristocratic Burmese homes and greatly admired and collected by the English Victorian civil service stationed there.
     
    Oxidation evident but overall, the box is in good condition
