This Islamic ceremonial standard (Alam) finial is attributed to the Qajar period and dates to circa 1800–1900. The piece is crafted in pierced copper alloy and features intricate openwork decoration combined with engraved calligraphic elements. The finial is formed as a pear-shaped openwork frame with a flame-like crest at the top, a design characteristic of ceremonial standards used in religious and processional contexts. A cylindrical socket is attached at the base, intended for mounting onto a pole. The surface displays a well-developed natural patina with areas of oxidation, consistent with age and long-term preservation. The decoration includes a continuous band of engraved calligraphy running along the form. The inscriptions remain visible, although naturally softened by age and patina, and contribute significantly to the piece’s authentic historical and devotional character. Provenance: Acquired from a European private collection; previously obtained from an older British and European collection formed since the 1970s. Condition: Very good overall condition, well preserved, with natural patina and oxidation consistent with age.
