Chauri handle

This handle made within the Mughal empire, probably in the 18th century, has been fashioned from a large crystal of clear, colourless rock crystal that was free of major flaws and inclusions. It tapers from a square, drilled end to the other, waisted end that terminates in an almost conical finial.
