Hukkah

This cast brass hukkah is ingenuously designed combining a mango-shaped water container adorned with a turned-neck peacock, an ornate lotus stem-shaped central pipe which culminates in a bowl for coal in the form of a blooming lotus flower.
The hukkah reiterates the fact that the Indian craftsman’s design inspiration came primarily from the objects of nature such as mango, peacock, lotus stem or the lotus flower which were adapted to overall form of the objects and its function. The hukkah seems to come from an upper or middle class family. Its graceful dimunitive form makes it suitable for a female smoker.
