Likely dating to around the "turn of the century" all of this amazing work is hand tooled, pressed or hammered by a very talented unnamed artist. My research tells me it may depict the Prophet Muhammad's successor and first amam Ali. I do not read Islamic or Arabic language so can't be sure. The most amazing design elements are the six beautiful birds that encircle him.
It has a good weight to it. There are spots of naturally occuring areas of surface oxidation and tarnish. Measures just short of 11" diameter and there is a small piece of hardware soldered on for it to be hung on the wall with. I have left the piece as found and have not cleaned it, so that you, the buyer, may clean it to your own preference.
