The form of this ewer with its squat rounded body with the base of the applied spout in the form of a cusped medallion is very similar to a brass ewer attributed by Mark Zebrowski to 18th Century Deccan, (Mark Zebrowski, Gold, Silver and Bronze from Mughal India, London, 1997, pl.520). This ewer is remarkable for its very restrained decoration which is limited to the spout and the handle.
