This significant silver ewer reflects the refined metalworking traditions of the Seljuk period. It has a rounded, bulbous body that rises into a tall neck, topped with a domed lid and pointed finial. A slender, slightly curved spout and a gracefully arched handle complete its functional yet elegant form. The surface is decorated with detailed engraved patterns, including floral and scroll-like designs arranged in lobed panels and circular bands. These motifs are typical of the decorative style used during the Seljuk era. The dark patina and signs of age give insight into its long history. Ewers like this were used for pouring water, often in both every day and ceremonial settings.
