    Hi All,
    I've had this piece for several years and thought I had asked about it here but can't find my post if I did - apologies if double posted.
    The bowl is 7" diameter x 3' high. Has text around the side, scene on the bottom, looking to find where and when it was made if possible.
    any information appreciated
    thanks for looking:)

    I dunno....the beast being ridden looks like he has feathers on the front of him....to me......but then I think they're all a bit strange looking too!!:happy: Did you eyeball what looks like the feet on the rider????:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Don’t think theres anything on his foot, it’s a leaf. Think the feathers are an impression of the lions mane. Very quirky but I really like it.

    Very charming bowl, cx. I agree with Persian. Looks like brass instead of copper to me. Maybe that is because I am still half asleep after being rudely awakened by @Aquitaine .:hilarious::kiss:

    thanks for the replies folks:)
    sorry you were rudely awakened AJ, thank-you for checking this out:) I wondered about brass, thank-you!
    here is one that has a similar finish on it, (not sure if there is a name for that type of finish)

    Polish residue?:playful: Do you mean that greyish-whitish stuff? That is just where someone polished it and didn't remove the polish from the engraved bits.:)
    You can wash it off. Or leave it, if you like the definition the white gives.
