Islamic Qajar/Mughal Lidded Bowl with Gold Kuftgari Inlay and Islamic Calligraphic Ornamentation, Islamic Eastern
This exquisite 19th-century Qajar/Mughal lidded bowl showcases masterful gold kuftgari work—a fine metal inlay technique traditionally used to embellish royal arms and luxury objects. Crafted from metal, the surface is richly decorated with intricate floral arabesques and Islamic inscriptions meticulously chiseled and inlaid in gold around the body and lid.
The harmonious blend of Persian and Mughal artistic influences reflects the opulence and refinement of courtly craftsmanship of the period, making it not only a functional vessel but also a symbol of spiritual and aesthetic devotion.
