A finely engraved wine-bowl of Persian crafts of the late Safavid period

This Safavid wine-bowl from the 17./18. century from Persia is crafted of tinned copper. The bowl is of flat, rounded shape and has got a slightly outward arched rim. In the upper third is a surrounding band, which has got engraved cartridges with animal depictions, arabesks and the inscription of name of the owner ‘Muhammad Quli‘.
