Scratchwork Lacquer Pot From Barmer - Late 19th Century Material - Marble It has had some repairsThis exquisite lacquer pot originates from Barmer, a desert town in western Rajasthan close to the Sindh border. Dating to the late 19th century, it is an exceptional example of traditional Indian scratchwork lacquerware, renowned for its vivid colour and intricate hand carved surface designs.
