HUGE!! Antique INDIAN Kali Elephant Lion Inlaid Malachite Brass Gilt PLAQUE 1900

Description: An enormous 30'' antique East Indian Kali and animals gold gilt silvered brass and malachite floral repousse wall plaque, dating to circa 1900. This very big, one of a kind and breathtaking antique Mughal Indian votive temple eight sided plaque is made of silvered and gilt brass and shows an incredible scene in high repousse work with a fantastic four-armed Kali, the goddess of Mother Nature and Death at the center with feather-decorated high hair wearing a tall multi-tiered head dress and floral decorated robes holding flowers in her hands surrounded by animals including elephants and lions attacking deer, very unusually each animal and Kali has been decorated with high bezel set glowing green malachite cabochons, every remaining square inch of the plaque is covered in beautiful scrolling gilt repousse flowers and leaves with all the spaces between unbelievably filled with thousands and thousands of hand hammered punch decorations-extraordinary! The reverse has later added soldered on loops and a chain for wall hanging. The plaque measures approximately 30 inches across. The plaque is in general very good condition with all over wear including gilt wear and loss to the entire piece. There is an old copper and gilded solder repair to a 5 inch split coming off one edge, otherwise no further damage or repairs. Please check all the pictures.

Terms of Sale TERMS OF SALE & RETURNS We make great efforts to honestly and accurately describe each item we list. We back this up with many photographs, all with a close-up zoom option for detailed inspection. Due to the majority of our items being antique/vintage and often unique it can be difficult to determine age and as such all our items are sold 'as is'. However, if we are not certain about the age of an item we will either not mention an age or say the item is being sold as a later or modern piece and then leave it up to more experienced buyers to determine the exact age. Items are not returnable if it was not of the age/value you were hoping it to be with no exceptions. If we place a date on an item we guarantee it to be of that period or earlier. If you require further pictures or more information about an item, please let us know prior to bidding or purchase. Items cannot be returned for any condition issues either shown in the pictures or mentioned in the listing. As many items we sell are one hundred years or older we will not accept returns for wear consistent with the item's age. Any item mentioned as sold 'as is' in the listing will not be eligible for any form of return or refund. If it is determined an item is eligible for a return, the item must be shipped back within 48 hours, insured and tracked. A restocking fee may apply. We are very easy to work with and welcome any and many questions during our listings, so please let us know if you have one! Thanks again for looking!
