A PAIR OF GOLD DAMASCENED STEEL RITUAL FIRE-OFFERING LADELS
EASTERN TIBET, DERGE, CIRCA 17TH/18TH CENTURY

藏東 更慶鎮 約十七/十八世紀 鋼鋄金火供勺一對

These ladles would have been used in tandem to make offerings during a home ceremony to the fire god, Agni. The round ladle scooped up melted butter which would have then been poured into the square ladle and offered through the spout onto the flames. The silver and gold inlay shows the fine quality of metalwork of the period and closely relates to another pair sold at Christie's, New York, 18 September 2013, lot 350 and an earlier set in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (1993.477.1.2 and 1993.477.1.1a, b).
