Ca. 17th-19th century AD. A brass shallow plate, crafted with utmost care and precision. Circular in shape, it boasts an intricately decorated shallow recess, its surface adorned with interwoven patterns that mesmerize the eyes. The plate is encircled by a thin band of geometric patterns, which further adds to its visual appeal. The outermost band, a thick border of calligraphy, bears witness to the immense skill of the metalworkers who created this masterpiece. Islamic metalworking has a long and rich history, with metal objects used for various purposes ranging from practical to ceremonial. Shallow plates such as this one were used for serving food, an essential aspect of Islamic hospitality, where the beauty of the dish itself was also an important element.Size: L:10mm / W:280mm ; 340gProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly in a collection of A. Kotlar, since the 1970s.
