Footnote: Note: Oomersi Mawji was appointed royal silversmith to the Maharaja of Kutch and is considered by far the most qualified silversmith of the nineteenth-century in India. Works by him and his workshop are highly collectible. For a detailed discussion on the work of Oomersi Mawji, see W. Wilkinson, Indian Silver 1858 – 1947, London 1999, pp. 69 - 70.
