AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Egyptian silver tray – 900/1000 solid silver – with engraved pharaonic musicians – officially certified

A particularly decorative Egyptian silver dish, made from solid silver with a purity of 900/1000. The piece is finely and deeply hand-engraved and depicts an impressive pharaonic scene with three figures, who appear to be playing musical instruments, inspired by ceremonial and court music from Old Egypt.

The figures are depicted in profile in a classical style, with stylized hairstyles, garments, and instruments, set against a background of hieroglyphic-like motifs and architectural elements. The broad border is richly decorated with a repeated decorative pattern, demonstrating high-quality Egyptian silversmithing.

Official Egyptian seal stamps (3 pieces)

Hallmark 900 – indication of silver content (900/1000)
