19TH C. THAI RATTANAKOSIN SILVER STUPA
We had a similar pair of stupas in the past, but they were much smaller. This is the largest silver one that I have come across. Hand hammered and made out of multiple pieces, it stands 10 1/2 inches high. It appears not to have been used. These were used as reliquaries for the remains of important people and monks. They make wonderful decorative objects even if you do not plan to use them for that purpose. $650
