Kahwa cup, Kashmir, early 20th century

The art work is reminescent of Persian craftsmanship,
that found its way through the North West frontier of India.
This cup is probably one of a larger set.
Used to drink kahwa or the Kashmiri version of tea.
Similar art is found on a Parsi jade box exhibited in the wovensouls gallery.
