A collection of four decorative items comprising a rectangular repoussé plaque, a circular decorated charger, a footed brass pot, and a carved wooden stirrer. The rectangular plaque is constructed from a copper-alloy and features intricate Indian style repoussé work depicting a royal or mythological procession with riders on elephants surrounded by multiple registers of figures in traditional attire. A recessed rectangular panel is visible to the left side of the central scene but contains no legible characters. The Thai style circular charger is decorated with a black ground and gilt motifs depicting royal war elephants with riders, framed by a wide border of kranok flame patterns. The brass pot features a flared rim, two small handles, and is mounted on three scrolled, leaf-form feet. The collection is completed by a slender hand-carved wooden stirrer with a shaft terminating in a stylised bud-form bowl. Several items in the group bear white adhesive labels reading S702C and the charger has a printed lot sticker reading 393. No maker’s names or manufacturer marks are legible on any of the pieces. This lot comprises the four decorative items only; the washing machine and other background surfaces shown in the images are not included.
