A highly decorated Silver Mongolian cast silver bowl 9cm diameter
Tests as 800 parts silver in a 1000
There are famous designs and schools of blacksmithing in Mongolia, such as Dariganga, Noyon Sevrei and Archuul, and although the artisan creates his work according to customary designs, one can find individual styles in their works.
Traditionally, Mongolian artisans transmit their knowledge to the next generation through a master-to-apprentice way. In this method, the master becomes both a parent and teacher for the apprentice. After learning the skills and knowledge of previous generations, Mongolian artisans do not imitate their masters, but instead re-create and develop the proficiency and skills with their own manners and techniques.
As widely used and greatly respected by the Mongolians, cast silver bowls are one of the most popular items made by blacksmiths. When casting a silver bowl, a special model of a bowl is used to shape the melted silver sheet with the help of various traditional tools and techniques.
The decoration of the silver bowl clearly demonstrates the skill of the artisans, as well as the quality and style of the silver mold.
The most popular ornaments for silver bowls include the animal-ornaments symbolizing strength and power, such as the dragon and lion, and geometric ornaments symbolizing longevity and prosperity, such as ölzii khee.
