Object Description
A fine Sasanian bowl hammered from bronze. The bowl features a flat, circular base, from which the slightly convex walls form a gently curving profile with a thin, even rim. The base of the interior is decorated with an stylised incised floral motif. Thin zig-zagging lines form what looks like a plant with three curving stems. Two incised concentric circles frame the central image. Both the interior and exterior are covered with a striking patina, with areas of visible oxidation.
Date: Circa 3rd-7th Century AD
