We present to you a MUSEUM-QUALITY – 18th/19th CENTURY OTTOMAN HEALING BOWL from Türkiye. It is in perfect condition for display.

This piece comes from a high-end collection.

A prime example of Ottoman folk beliefs, medical history, and metalwork, this healing bowl is a collector's item due to its high craftsmanship and profound spiritual symbolism.

Physical Characteristics:

Period: Late 18th – Early 19th century Ottoman Period.

Material: Brass (forged and engraved technique).

Diameter: 14.7 cm.

Form: Traditional concave form, with a central "navel" (gobara), an outward-facing rim, and a body entirely decorated with hand-crafted inscriptions.

Detailed Explanation of the Inscriptions and Symbols:
This bowl is not just a water container, but a spiritual object believed to "heal" the water through the prayers inscribed upon it. Elements on it include:

Ayat al-Kursi and Quranic Verses: Verses of healing and protection (especially Surah al-Falaq, Surah al-Nas, and Surah al-Ikhlas) are engraved in a calligraphic pattern on the inner and outer edges of the bowl.

Asma al-Husna: The beautiful names of Allah are arranged along the rim of the bowl in circular bands.

Amulets and Abjad Tables: Inside and on the base of the bowl are "Amulets" (magical squares) consisting of numbers and letters placed within squares. These amulets symbolize healing and abundance according to a specific mathematical order.

Forty Keys (Cil-Kilit) Symbolism: The central part and surrounding area of ​​the bowl feature symbols of prayers, popularly known as "Forty Granaries" or "Forty Keys," each representing deliverance from a different hardship (illness, evil eye, poverty).

Seal and Calligraphy: The inscriptions are carved by a skilled hand using the characteristic Ottoman Naskh and Thuluth scripts of the period.

Purpose and Historical Significance:
In the Ottoman Empire, it was believed that water poured into these bowls became healing due to the blessings of the verses and talismans inscribed on them. They were generally used in rituals such as treating illnesses, dispelling fears, or bathing newborn babies. Today, these objects are considered an integral part of Ottoman metalwork and Islamic art.
