PERSIAN INDO-PERSIAN BOWL. BRONZE. LOBULATED. SXVIII.

Description:
- Solid lobed bronze bowl, probably with origins between Persia (present-day Iran) and India.
- The bowl has a simple and elegant design, with several lobed bands.
- The bowl probably consists of two parts, the base and the body of the bowl.
- It is handmade, possibly on a lathe.
- In the centre of the bowl there is a hole, made recently and possibly with a drill, to give the bowl another use, as a planter, for example. There is a piece missing from the mouth, made deliberately with a chisel, as a mark of its own.
- It has a great deal of wear, which has given it a spectacular patina, with brown and greenish colours.
- It is a rare piece to find with this quality and preservation.
