This bronze talismanic bowl, inscribed with Quranic script, exemplifies the syncretic spiritual and medicinal practices prevalent in Islamic cultures. Such bowls were believed to possess healing and protective powers. Traditionally, water was poured into the vessel, over which prayers were recited before it was consumed or applied as a cure for physical or spiritual ailments. The etched surface is adorned with intricate calligraphy, arranged in circular bands and radiating motifs—a stylistic hallmark of Islamic metalwork. A metal ring handle is affixed to the rim, possibly for suspension. These bowls were not only functional ritual objects but also expressions of devotion and artistry, used across the Islamic world including the Middle East, Persia, Mughal India, and the Ottoman Empire. A closely comparable example is preserved in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (Accession no. 779 1889).
