A very attractive sterling silver Siam niello powder compact c. 1940. Siam niello ware has a fine quality and a particular lustre. All the figures represented are decorated with highly ornate engravings which is not captured by my camera as it is focusing on the black niello. The whole compact is in excellent condition with no loss of niello / design. All clasps & hinges work perfectly. The mirror is very good & gives an accurate / clear reflection - a couple of subtle age spots on the mirror that are hard to see. The base shows the Matcha ( the Mermaid Queen) with Hanuman, she appears with him in the Ramakien. Hanuman (King of Monkeys – a clothed monkey-diety holding a sword) was sent by Prince Rama to build a bridge over Queen Matcha’s Sea Kingdom but the Monkey King falls in love with her instead. The compact is engraved ' STERLING SIAM'. The reflective nature of the lid makes it difficult to photograph. In person it is much more attractive & the engraving on the silver outstandingly beautiful.
Measures 7 cm & weighs 74.4 grams.
