About the Item

The brass Persian Islamic ewer from the mid-19th century is a stunning example of craftsmanship and artistic expression. This ewer is not only a functional vessel but also a work of art that reflects the cultural and artistic richness of the Islamic world during that period. The body of the ewer is made of brass, providing a sturdy and durable foundation for the intricate decorations. The surface of the ewer is adorned with exquisite silver inlay, adding a touch of luxury and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. The silver inlay is skillfully crafted and delicately placed to create ornate patterns that contribute to the visual richness of the piece. At the center of the ewer's body, there is a masterfully executed calligraphy in silver inlay. Islamic calligraphy, with its flowing and elegant script, is not only a form of artistic expression but also holds deep religious and cultural significance. The calligraphic inscription may feature verses from the Quran or other religious texts, conveying a sense of reverence and spirituality. The base of the ewer is adorned with engraved bird figures, adding another layer of symbolism and beauty to the piece. Birds are common motifs in Islamic art, often representing themes such as freedom, spirituality, and transcendence. The engravings of bird figures on the base and body showcase the artisan's attention to detail and their ability to capture the graceful movements and forms of these creatures. The overall design of this mid-19th-century Persian Islamic ewer reflects the fusion of artistic traditions, religious influences, and skilled craftsmanship that characterized the Islamic world during that period. It stands as a testament to the cultural richness and sophistication of the artisans who created it, as well as the broader artistic heritage of the region. This ewer not only serves as a functional object but also as a visual narrative of the cultural and artistic landscape of its time.

Kashmiri Mughal Bird Copper Ewer, Mid 19th Century

Located in Islamabad, PK

This exquisite piece of art seamlessly combines the intricate aesthetics of Mughal design with the skilled craftsmanship of Kashmiri artisans, resulting in a stunning and unique creation. The copper ewer takes the form of a bird, with its body forming the main body of the vessel and its neck serving as the spout. The bird's wings, tail feathers, and even subtle details like beak and eyes are meticulously rendered, showcasing the artisan's attention to detail.
