[QUOTE="PDProps, post: 159164, member: 2156"]To be honest it was just a lot of googling. We had narrowed it down to Islamic Asia, and finally found one auction house in the UK that sold a similar, but much newer canister. [url=http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/1369.html][img]http://www.michaelbackmanltd.com/sitebuilder/images/Brunei_Silver_2_-385x486.jpg[/img][/url] The Brunei national museum website being shut down certainly didn't help. It turns out it is a fairly common motif in Brunei silver work. The patter is [I]bunga air mulih [/I]which translates as "water flower plant". With all of the Brunei cultural institutions having shut down their web sites, we are contacting the Embassy here in Canada to see if they can provide any more details.[/QUOTE]
