Description Cultural & Historical Background Hand-chased and hand-hammered metal chargers (Ghalamzani) represent one of the most sophisticated artistic traditions of Middle Eastern coppersmithing. Master artisans execute these elaborate pieces by shaping heavy copper plate, applying silver-toned tin and warm brass overlays, and painstakingly incising high-relief scenes using micro-chisels and pouncing tools. At approximately 13 inches in diameter, this large wall charger stands out as a masterpiece of multi-tone metal craft, depicting a classical Middle Eastern pastoral poetry motif: Musician & Pastoral Garden Medallion: The central relief scene portrays a young musician in traditional attire and pointed cap playing a wind instrument (ney / flute) beneath a leafy tree of life. Surrounding the musician are wild gazelles and deer (Ahoo) mesmerized by the melody, with a domed palace pavilion visible in the background—a motif deeply rooted in classical Middle Eastern folklore, poetry, and royal garden themes. Multi-Tone Metallic Relief: Exceptional visual depth is achieved through contrasting copper, brass, and tinned silver highlights against a dark stippled background. Intricate Rosette Rim: The broad outer rim features an elaborate, continuous band of raised copper and brass floral rosettes interspersed with trailing vine scrollwork on a pounced ground. Equipped with an attached metal hanging ring on the reverse, this monumental charger is an extraordinary display piece for gallery walls, mantle displays, or art collections.
