Description
This Engraved Bronze Ritual Cup is a preserved whisper from the Islamic Golden Age, where religious geometry and symbolism melded harmoniously with beautiful metalwork.
This Bronze Ritual Cup embodies the magnificence of Persian and Seljuk traditions, having been cast using the time-honoured lost-wax method—an old bronze-smithing process honed through generations. Each item is poured, cooled, and detailed by hand, resulting in distinct surface textures and exact engravings that machines cannot match.
The exterior features intertwining grapevines and scroll-like motifs, symbolizing both prosperity and intellect. Inside, a delicate Arabic inscription hints at poetic or spiritual resonance, words once reserved for royalty or learned mystics.
Its raised pedestal base not only provides stability but reflects its likely use in sacred or elevated ritual settings, possibly for libations, perfumes, or herbal mixtures in private spiritual rites or temple ceremonies. Despite its modest 30 ml capacity, the vessel’s visual impact is profound—an heirloom-sized expression of cultural depth and heritage.
