    Can anyone assist with identifying this bowl please? It appears to have what may be Arabic hand punched calligraphy. I have seen descriptions for similar bowls as Islamic, medicine, holy, divination, magic, Qur'an scripture. It has no magnetic attraction and weighs about 6.8 oz.. It is about 1-7/8" tall and 4-3/4" across the rim. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Aluminum? Silver plated? Looks dull, so I think it’s AL. Any markings on the bottom? Let’s wait for an expert to see it. I can’t distinguish between Arabic, Hebrew or Hindu writings.
