Bidspirit auction | PIECE WITH THREE HEADS

PIECE WITH THREE HEADS - Metal alloy piece with a campanulate body, with sides marked by small hoops and decoration in zigzag bands and regular perforations. From the top emerges a vertical stem with an intermediate ring and a tripartite finial, featuring three stylized heads connected by an arcade. Fine textured surface, worked with applied fillets, with a homogeneous grayish patina. The combination of the campanulate body with an anthropomorphic finial and the embossed openwork may approach the Dhokra sculptural tradition of central India, a hypothesis that cannot be confirmed solely by photographs.
