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.
