Description

This brass (with some remains of silver plating) palki finial is from Maharashtra. Palanquin, or “palki”, are litter-type conveyances that have been in use in India for centuries.

The size of the finial is 5.75 x 3 x 4.5 inches without the base. With the base, the size of the piece is 5.75 x 3 x 4.5 inches.
