This is a fine late 19th century Mamluk revival inlaid brass bowl. It is of Near Eastern origin and most likely originated in Egypt, Palestine, Persia or Syria.

It has intricate silver inlay on a bronze or brass bowl with a tooled background design. The designs incorporate leaves and medallions with Arabic or Islamic script encircling bowl. The center medallion on the base with endless knot or possibly even a stylized Star of David design is finely worked as is the entire bowl.

It appears to be hand hammered and chiseled with fine details.

It measures almost 5" in diameter and it is just under 2" high.

It is in excellent condition with no damage or losses.

This is one of about six pieces that we will be offering. They are slightly different in style, but similar enough in period, size and workmanship to be complementary to each other.
