A silver lota (vessel) on a circular high pedestal and having a flared mouth and a small neck. It has a fluted body which is carved in relief alternately with floral designs while other alternate portions are plain. Each flute has a human face, each at every end. These type of lota's were made perhaps to guard or to remove the evils. The lota's neck is carved with circles while there are floral designs on the shoulders, on the lower end and on the pedestal but it is damaged and dented.
