This is one of two giant silver urns--Gangajali--listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest silver objects in the world. They were used to carry sacred Ganges water for Madho Singh II's trip to London in 1902. I think each one is about 5 feet tall, and they each weigh 345kg (about 760 lbs). (27 July 2002)
