An ancient-medieval bronze bowl of the high tin content 'white bronze' type with engravings of the Gaznavids, dating to c. 10th-11th. century AD.
A massive bowl, likely a food bowl for really large parties. The interior of the bowl is almost completely covered with fine azurite patina and when cleaned would reveal the fine design of incised circles-dots (bulls-eye) and perhaps hexacons as well; the exterior is cleaned and plain.
Size: 24 cm. wide and 8 cm. tall.
Condition: Superb for type, exceptional fresh metal and with a particularly attractive azurite patina that covers most of the fine engravings, some cleaning scratches in the interiour.
Ex. Danish Private Collection
