AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Moroccan craftsmanship, an ancient large vase or amphora in blackened metal with silver niellage in Indo-Persian style.

The niellage process for this type of vases consists of engraving motifs into the metal and filling them with silver, thus creating a contrast with the darkened metal. An acid test proves that the niellage is silver (see last photo).

Due to its handmade craftsmanship and patina, it very likely dates from the first half or the middle of the 20th century.

Dimensions: 57 cm high x 23 cm in diameter.
Weight: 3.5 kg
