Traditional techniques such as repoussé (hammering from the reverse side) or chasing (hammering on the front side) may be employed to shape the metal.
3) Engraving: The surface of the tray is often decorated with intricate engravings or etchings. Skilled artisans use chisels, gravers, or other specialized tos to create fine details and elaborate patterns.
Throughout history, Islamic brass trays have served various purposes, including as serving trays for food or beverages, as decorative items for homes or religious spaces, or as gifts for special occasions. They are often prized for their intricate craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the ctural and artistic heritage they represent.
