    Sorry if this isn't the right subforum. Do you know what this is? 20180222_160120.jpg 20180222_160126.jpg 20180222_160143.jpg 20180222_160204.jpg

    Very nice, barn.
    It is a kendi or ghendi, a flask or bottle for (holy) water. Although most kendis have a spout on one side, not all do. Kendis are found in Southeast Asia, China, Burma, and parts of India. In India they are called kunda or kundika.
    This one could be Burmese, but that's just a guess.
    Are you sure the metal is silver?
