Description

Rare South Indian perfume and surma (eyeliner) holder in brass. The perfume or essential oils would have been stored in the body of the figure. In the right hand is a small circular mirror with a sliding lid that would have held a shard of mica as a small mirror. In the left hand is a small cup that would have been used to store either surma (eyeliner) or kum kum. In the upper piece, the stopper is lost to time, as is the stopper for the second holder for perfume at the base in the shape of a tortoise.
