ImportantNote. Due toChristmas& NewYearHolidays Deliveries may bedelayed!!! A Rare Judaica-Islamic-Christian Themed Silver & Copper Inlay Tray Depicting An Invisible \' Ark Of TheCovenant.\' PossiblyMade By TheBezalelSchoolof Arts In Palestine / Israel Around Early 1900\'s Jerusalem or Damascus. A Must for Collectors Of Cairoware ,Mamluk Revival ,Persian & Islamic Art in General.
The technique of silver and copper inlay was revived in the late 1700\'s and 1800\'s in the Islamic world.The process is difficult and requires several stages of mastery.Indeed after the item has been cast or hammered into shape it is then covered in the calligraphy and patterns. After this difficult stage the brass/bronze is carved & engraved by hand. Finally thesilverand copper is hammered into the carved areas.(M.Khaleeq 2011)
A stunning quality tray which I believe was made by the Bezalelschoolof Arts in Jerusalem.The Ark of the Covenantwas not meant to be gazed onbyhuman beings and Ibelieve ifyou lookclosely atthethreemen , they are crouched over something with two of them in a holding stance. Forreligioussensibilities / reasons , the artist has left the Arkinvisible. There are no stamps or Bezalelinscriptionsanywhere . Please look at the item and make up your own mind. If you look at similar trays you will see they are notdissimilarto this.Item number 201744419891 or the link below. LOOK AT THE MATCHINGBIBLICAL TRAY \' Garden Of Eden \'IN MY OTHER sales!!
