Lot 189

The uppermost part of the cover (the chimney) has been pressed downwards on one side, crushing together its double lotus mouldings and the stone-set border between these and trapping two of the pendant rings suspended around this part. Below this, in the next tier of pendant rings, three rings are lacking.

The rim of the mouth of the body has been depressed on two sides, creating uneven gaps between this and the lower edge of the cover. There are dents to both handles and the edges of the broad ledge together with scattered minor dents to other edges throughout.

There are various losses in the applied stone decoration including to one of the two large floral designs to the sides of the body, to the handles, and scattered smaller losses elsewhere.
