This copper pitcher with a nozzle is known as a Karuwa and is a vessel historically used by the Newar people. The sprout is used for streaming water. Water can be sipped unusually without making contact with the mouth. It has a lovely antique finish with a green patina deposited on some parts of the vessel. At the intersection of the vessel and the sprout is an ornate brass vessel with a bird's head. It is also linked with Avalokitesvara; the vase is thought to hold the nectar of his compassion, which calms people who pray to him.
