Description from the seller
Add a touch of opulent Oriental elegance to your interior with this exquisite hand-chased brass covered bowl, traditionally known as a Sukariyah. Resting gracefully on a flared pedestal foot, this luminous vessel features a beautifully domed lid and a meticulously decorated central band. It is a captivating centerpiece that instantly evokes the rich, welcoming atmosphere of ancient bazaars, perfect for collectors of traditional metalwork and refined, exotic decor.
The Raw Material & Craftsmanship:
Intricate Chasing: The exterior boasts a richly detailed, hand-chased band of interlacing botanical motifs, a true testament to the artisan's mastery of traditional engraving chisels.
Luminous Finish & Lathe Marks: The interior reveals faint, concentric turning marks—the unmistakable signature of a piece traditionally shaped on a hand-lathe before being polished to a mirror-like, golden gleam.
Elegant Proportions: Crowned with a solid, perfectly proportioned finial on its domed lid and elevated by a sturdy pedestal base, the vessel beautifully balances visual lightness with the satisfying, tactile weight of solid brass.
A Piece of History:
Historically, vessels of this elegant silhouette were cherished in Middle Eastern and Indian households to serve precious commodities—such as sugar, sweetmeats, or exotic spices—to esteemed guests. Crafted in a traditional workshop, this piece reflects an era when everyday domestic objects were elevated to works of art through sheer manual devotion.
Will be meticulously packaged and dispatched swiftly with trackable shipping.
