    Splashi
    (5 items)

    I would love to know something about this bottle. It is made of brass and is in the shape of a bean. It's approximately 5 " long and 4" wide at its widest part. It looks handmade. It looks as though there is what is left of a cork, in the opening. There is a small closed "hook" at the top of the neck so that it can be attached to something. An attachment is missing.

      It's a mango, not bean. It's Surmadani, used to hold powdered makeup.

      I haven't been able to find one like you suggest. This style would seem to be the majority of forms for a Surmadani. Anyone else?
