The echo of the earlier form of pilgrim flask seen in lot 184 is clearly visible here. Apart from the form of the body, the other features on this sprinkler are close to those of a similar vessel attributed to Central Indian or the Deccan of the second half of the 18th century (Christiane Terlinden, Mughal Silver Magnificence, Bruxelles, 1987, no.95, p.86).
