<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 305901, member: 4654&quot;]I recently bought a Vizagapatam box with a unusual crest on the top of two loins holding a cartouche, the pierced ivory was about the best I&#039;ve seen but unfortunately the box is in quite damaged condition <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; As usual I went looking for another to do my research to find out as much as I can about the item but failed to find another like it until a few days later I was looking through the V&amp;A&#039;s collection and there was the same loins on a Vizagapatam Palanquin (a sort of sedan chair) I&#039;m sure the loins are a sort of makers mark, what do other members think? I see the Queens Vizagapatam is as damaged as mine, you would think she would have the money to get it fixed lol </p><p><a href="http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O471151/palanquin-chandrayya-sivakoti/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O471151/palanquin-chandrayya-sivakoti/" rel="nofollow">http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O471151/palanquin-chandrayya-sivakoti/</a> [ATTACH=full]100365[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]100366[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]100367[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]100368[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
