Large Antique 90% Silver Hand-Hammered Colonial India Elephant Ladle Kutch
Great condition with no noted distracting issues. There is one scratch on the back of the handle where someone tested for silver content. I have lightly polished this piece but it could use a more thorough polishing.

The term denarius literally means, in Latin, “containing ten asses”, and was so called because originaly the denarius coin was the equivalent of 10 asses.
