" Miniature Silver Hanap - 19th Century"
Traditionally intended for the table of a notable figure, the hanap was given on special occasions—such as weddings, baptisms, or anniversaries—and used as a ceremonial drinking vessel during major celebrations.
In the tradition of Renaissance-era hanaps, this example stands out for its modest proportions, measuring 15 cm in height.
It features a circular base topped with a Roman soldier in armor holding a shield.
At the top is a figure of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry.
Crafted in 800 silver.
Very good condition, with some minor wear to the gilding.
