Traditional red copper bowl (tassa) handmade engraved with a base - good weight and good condition.
For sale: a traditional old bowl (tassa / hospitality bowl) made of thick red copper, a very distinctive piece that adds an authentic traditional character to majlis, الشعر tents, and antique shops.
Thick natural copper, entirely handmade hammered and cast, with clear hammer marks visible inside the bottom of the bowl.
A deep bowl sitting on a raised and stable conical base (designed for majlis hospitality, such as serving dates or drinks).
Relatively heavy and balanced (durable and old craftsmanship that withstands use, not light or newly imitated copper).
Completely hand-engraved with rough traditional chisels. The decorations are exquisite geometric patterns based on bands of interlocking triangles, dotted circles, and connected intersecting symbols. The engraving is inlaid with a natural dark material to highlight the details.
Approximate Origin: Old traditional market craftsmanship (Yemeni / Southern).
Condition: Good and solid.. with a very slight crack in the upper rim (lip) shown in the last picture.
The piece carries original aging, and remnants of old tinning (tin) are visible at the edges and where the base meets, as proof of its authenticity and that it has not been recently renewed.
Estimated Age: Its approximate date is between 60 to 80 years old. Old heritage.
Price: 250 Riyals.
