An Indian Brass Zoomorphic Nutcracker.
A finely cast Indian brass nutcracker formed in the shape of a stylised mythical beast, its body richly decorated with incised geometric and foliate motifs. The creature is depicted with an open-mouthed expression, detailed eyes, and layered ornamental collars, while the curved handles terminate in rounded finials. The hinged mechanism is seamlessly integrated into the body, with the upper and lower arms extending outward in elegant arcs.
Approximately 22cm
Provenance: Private collection from a distinguished British gentleman.
