Interested in luxurious items from the past and that too from the land of kings, queens and majestic palaces? Up for auction is the gold tiger finial which was once a part of the world famous octagonal throne of Tipu Sultan of Mysore in India. Fit for a king, this gem encrusted finial is cast in gold and measures seven cm.
This gem encrusted finial once adorned the throne of the tiger of Mysore and is now ready to go under the hummer at the Bonhams auction house in London. It is expected to sell for around £800,000.
So if you have the money do go for this gold finial which is said to have an incredible past!!
P.S.: I would go on a date with the person who gifts me this gold finial of Tipu Sultan
