The large-scale copper charger plate with silver inlay is a truly awe-inspiring work of art. Its grand size and intricate design make it a captivating piece that commands attention and admiration. The copper charger plate serves as the canvas for an extraordinary display of Egyptian hieroglyphics.

These depictions serve as a testament to the strength, courage, and resilience of the Egyptian civilization. Amidst the human figures, the divine beings of ancient Egypt also grace the charger plate. Hieroglyphics representing gods and goddesses such as Ra, Osiris, Isis, and Horus can be seen, their majestic presence adding a sense of awe and spiritual significance to the artwork. These divine figures were revered by the ancient Egyptians, and their inclusion on the plate symbolizes the intertwining of everyday life with the divine realm. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in the copper charger plate with silver inlay create a visual narrative that transports viewers back in time to ancient Egypt.
