Two small painted lacquered boxes with lids and a bowl from India, with exceptional painting on each. They are each finely carved wood with painted exteriors, the bowl being covered with flowers, the round box having a hunting scene with a tiger, and the oval box with a village scene of churning and weaving. The craftsmanship on all three is excellent, the lids fitting perfectly and the thinness of the pieces demonstrating the carver's skill. The painting is also extremely fine, the two boxes being in a Rajput style, while the bowl may have been painted for sale to Europeans.
Size: The round box is 5 inches tall by 7 inches wide; the oval box is 3 1/4 inches tall by 10 inches long by 4 1/2 inches deep; the bowl being 6 1/4 inches tall by 8 1/2 inches wide.
Provenance: Estate of General Joseph McNarney.
Processing and shipping in the Continental United States is $40.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance..
