This antique Middle Eastern vessel is a fine example of traditional tinned copper metalwork. The cylindrical body features intricate hand-etched decorative bands, including a prominent central register of scrolling vine and leaf motifs. The piece is topped with a well-fitted domed lid that culminates in a distinctive tall, tapered finial. The vessel rests on a narrow flared base, providing a balanced silhouette. The exterior displays a weathered, authentic patina where the silvery tinning has aged over the copper base, highlighting the hand-crafted nature of the ornamentation.
