A pair of gold perfume holders in the form of stylised lions with chased curly manes. The holders have spouts held in between the paws of the lions and attached with chains. The lions are seated on octagonal stems that springs from a flat foot. A hinged cover, where the perfume would be poured into the holder, is on top of the lion's head.

Perfume holders such as this example were designed to store natural perfumes known as attar. Perfumes were offered within the Indian court to welcome visitors.
