Item Details
Description
This antique bowl, with a diameter of 5 cm or approximately 2 inches, is a distinguished example of 19th-century Islamic metalwork. Made from a copper alloy, it features intricate damascening, which is the art of inlaying different metals into one another, typically involving gold or silver designs on a darker metal background. This decorative technique creates a striking contrast and is characteristic of Islamic art. The bowl’s elaborate patterns are likely to be inspired by calligraphy and foliage, motifs that are deeply rooted in Islamic art and carry rich symbolic meaning. Pieces such as this were not only utilitarian but also reflected the sophisticated aesthetic and spiritual life of their owners. This bowl would have been a treasured item, valued for both its beauty and craftsmanship.
