This bowl has eight indented lobes surrounding a seven-petalled lotus. The rim is folded over and it has a pointille Kharoshti inscription on the exterior. It reads "viradasa-putrasa hastidasasa", which means “(Property) of Hastinanda, son of Viradasa.”The elongated, indented lobes and bordered lotus motif are somewhat unusual for this type of bowl. Most silver pieces favour clearly defined egg-shaped lobes with the lotus petals extending fully outwards.
