A marvel of divine craftsmanship, this rare 17th-century Safavid copper vessel, likely from the storied region of Khorasan, radiates spiritual grandeur. Its surface is richly adorned with black enamel, drawing the eye to pierced openwork medallions inscribed with the sacred names of Allah. The bulbous form swells gracefully before tapering toward a narrow base, a silhouette seldom seen in surviving metalwork of the period. Intricate calligraphy and the harmonious blend of sacred text and sculptural form elevate the vessel into a lyrical expression of spiritual and artistic devotion.
