Antique Indo-Persian Kashmiri samowar tea kettle, superb!

Ancient piece from a Swiss/Austrian collection that was assembled in 1960. The pieces are all from c. 18th to 19th century. Pls see the other items from this collection currently listed!
There is an old label from 1960 attached reading "Samowar, Ladakh, Western Himalaya, bowl with Yak motifs (Tibetan cattle)" however this appears to be wrongly identified since the animal and human figures point to Persia. However it could have been found in Ladakh since the region is neighboring Cashmere, that is where the other pieces of this collection are coming from.
