The kangri is the firepot Kashmiris carry under a pheran through the coldest months. This is that object, in copper, on your wall.
Eight inches across, hand-beaten and finished in an antique tone that keeps the recessed detail dark and the raised work bright. The contrast is what makes the kangri shape read from across a room.

FAQs
What is a kangri?
A kangri is a small earthen firepot woven into a wicker basket, carried beneath the pheran for warmth through Kashmiri winters. It is one of the Valley's oldest everyday objects.
Should I polish the antique finish?
No. Polishing strips the darkened recesses that create the contrast. Dust it dry with a soft cloth.
Does it come with hanging hardware?
Yes — a hanging ring is fitted on the back. Wall screws are not included.
