Ca. 17th-19th century AD. A circular plate with a flat base and shallow basin, created by the slightly pulled-up sides, creates a perfect canvas for the intricate decoration that adorns it. The central calligraphic roundel, surrounded by two floral bands, is a striking focal point, drawing the eye to its fine detail and elegance. Similar trays were often used for serving food or displaying decorative items. Islamic metalworkers were known for their exceptional craftsmanship, which often included engraving, repoussé, and filigree techniques. These skilled artisans used copper, brass, silver, and gold to create a wide range of decorative items, including trays, plates, bowls, and vessels. The designs featured in Islamic metalwork often included intricate geometric and floral motifs, as well as calligraphy, which played a significant role in Islamic art. Calligraphy was used to adorn everything from manuscripts to buildings, showcasing the importance of the written word in Islamic culture.Size: L:30mm / W:332mm ; 1.47kgProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly in a collection of A.
