EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Brass basin, inlaid with intricate patterns of silver and gold, dates back to the early 14th century, specifically between 1320 and 1341. The basin bears the name of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad, a prominent ruler of the Mameluke Sultanate, which ruled Egypt and Syria during the Islamic Middle Ages. The origin of this magnificent piece is believed to be either Cairo or Damascus. Measuring 22.7 cm in height and boasting a grand diameter of 54 cm, this basin is a stunning example of Islamic art and craftsmanship. The horizontal design of the basin is adorned with intricate geometric patterns, floral motifs, and calligraphy, all meticulously inlaid with silver and gold. The Mameluke Sultanate, known for its opulence and grandeur, is renowned for its distinctive artistic style, which is characterized by the use of gold and silver inlay on brass and copper. This basin is a testament to the wealth and artistic prowess of the Mameluke court. The British Museum in London is the current home of this magnificent artifact, which continues to captivate visitors with its intricate design and historical significance. The basin is not only a beautiful piece of jewelry but also a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on the rich cultural heritage of the Islamic world during the Middle Ages.
