"Discover the Artistry of Repoussé: A Journey Through Centuries" Step into a world where craftsmanship and creativity intertwine, as we delve into the captivating art form of repoussé. From ancient relics to exquisite silverware, each piece tells a unique story that spans centuries. First, we encounter the Stupa Reliquary from the 9th/10th century, its intricate designs reflecting devotion and spirituality. Moving forward in time, a stunning punch bowl crafted in 1891-92 catches our eye with its shimmering silver surface. Our exploration takes us further back to the Malla period in the 16th/17th century when Bhairava's terrifying visage is immortalized through repoussé techniques. The goddess Vasudhara beckons us next with her tiered offering mandala from the 19th century—a symbol of prosperity and abundance. As we venture deeper into history, a Tang dynasty stem cup from the 9th century captivates us with its mysterious origins. Akshobhya, an enlightened Buddha depicted alongside foliage overflowing from a vessel (Purnagata), transports us to spiritual realms beyond comprehension. The triumph of good over evil comes alive on a votive plaque depicting Buddha's victory over Mara during the 19th century. A serene Buddha seated in meditation invites contemplation and peace within ourselves. Not limited to religious artifacts alone, repoussé finds expression even in everyday objects like salt containers or ewers adorned with fish scale patterns inscribed in Persian script—testaments to cross-cultural influences throughout history. Intricately designed tea and coffee services by Samuel Kirk & Son showcase how repoussé can elevate mundane items into works of art that grace elegant tables for generations. Lastly, an enigmatic beaker dating back to AD 600-1000 leaves us pondering about its unknown creator but marveling at their skill.
