专家说明

This refined bronze bottle (surahi) was published by Mark Zebrowski in 1997. In his discussion of the bottle, he notes that ‘several thickly cast surahis are marvels of concise, elegant design. One [ie the present piece] has a dramatic, rippled surface like tightly twisted rope’ (Mark Zebrowski, Gold, Silver & Bronze from Mughal India, London, 1997, cat.277, pp.186-188). Zebrowski attributes it to Punjab or Karnataka and dates it to the 17th century.
