PROPERTY FROM THE NOBLE SILVER COLLECTION A SILVER OFFERING BOWL WITH SCENES FROM THE RAMAYANALOWER BURMA (MYANMAR), CIRCA 1890 The underside has an inscription, translated: "Madam Khine Myint's silver bowl. It was donated to a monastery". 6 1/2 in. (16.5 cm) high; 10 1/4 in. (26 cm) diameter; 51 troy oz (1,585 grams) approximate weight While elite Burmese silversmiths marked some works, particularly pieces destined for international artpetitions sponsored by the British colonial government, one is more likely to find the name of the patron rather than that of the silversmith on items more clearly produced for a Burmese clientele. This very fine offering bowl with vivid scenes from the Ramayana is a keen example bearing only the patron's name while explicitly stating its purpose as a merit-generating temple donation. Nonetheless, the bowl's superb narrative representation, replete with floral patterns inspired by Myanmar's kanote tradition injecting energy into every scene, is clearly an innovative creation of a master silversmith. Published: Owens, Burmese Silver Art , pp.73-4 & 179-80, no.S151, figs.3.51 & 4.127.
