"Embossed Copper Basin, Royal Scenes, Persia, Late 18th Century, Qadjar Art"
Beautiful object, thick copper built in two parts, assembled by soldering in the middle of the decorative frieze. Central decor is pushed back and over-engraved, there are 6 reserves, each with an animated scene around one monarch, I counted 24 characters, 3 animals. 6 curious pedestals separate these scenes, surmounted by 2 animal deities. (rats?) . Shoulder of basin is decorated in a crown with 6 engraved inscriptions, that I cannot translate. Persia, late 18th or early 19th century.
