This antique Middle Eastern pedestal bowl is a masterful example of traditional metalwork, likely of Persian or Islamic origin. The piece is crafted from brass and features a wide, flared bowl with a scalloped, petal-like rim. The entire surface is meticulously hand-etched with intricate floral patterns, geometric borders, and dense foliate motifs that showcase exceptional craftsmanship. The bowl is supported by a tall, elegant pedestal stem that leads to a flared, circular base decorated with matching etched registers. The metal displays a warm, aged patina that highlights the depth of the hand-carved ornamentation.
