A beautiful old copper bowl, the neck encircled with fancy Arabic script. The band of script is punctuated by three circular reserves which contain smaller writings perhaps a date and/or signature?
I have not had any of it interpreted. The shoulder and belly are engraved with repeating lappets and small florets. This is from amongst a selection of old household goods he bought. Size: 7 3/4 inches / 20 cm wide, approximately. I find it hard to measure shapes like this.
