Basin. Brass inlaid with silver and copper. Levant, circa 1900. Height 12 Diameter 19 cm. This basin with a "three metals" decoration (brass, silver and copper) is decorated with a central register decorated with thuluth calligraphy cartouches alternating with medallions with floral decoration. On either side of this register are friezes of interlacing and a frieze of fleurons in the lower part. This type of coin is part of the so-called "Mameluk revival" trend, i.e. in the continuity of the style of medieval Mameluk metals. Expert: Mr Alexis RENARD
