Description from the seller

Islamic Engraved Copper Vessel Dated 1298 AH (1881 CE) – 19th Century



Description

A remarkable hand-hammered Islamic copper vessel dated 1298 AH (1881 CE), richly decorated with authentic engraved Arabic calligraphy, intricate geometric ornamentation, and traditional Islamic medallions.

The continuous calligraphic frieze surrounding the body, together with the finely engraved geometric motifs, demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship of 19th-century Islamic metalwork. The harmonious rounded form and the naturally developed patina acquired over more than a century further enhance the vessel’s authenticity and historical character.

The underside bears the engraved date 1298 AH, confirming the historical date of the piece and placing its manufacture in 1881 CE.

The vessel retains its original age-related character, including natural oxidation and verdigris within the engraved decoration, both consistent with its age and contributing to its authenticity and historical significance.
