Subtly majestic, this tinned copper bowl, hailing from Safavid-era western Iran, rises gracefully from a short, slightly splayed foot into a tall, rounded body with a flared rim. The surface is densely engraved with scrolling vegetal and arabesque motifs, organized into horizontal bands that wrap around the form. At the center, an intricate medallion anchors the decoration, surrounded by rhythmic foliate patterns. The upper register bears a graceful band of inscribed calligraphy—likely poetic or devotional, lends a lyrical rhythm to the design.
