- This 100% handcrafted Persian metal engraving (Ghalam-zani) showcases the classical Gol-o-Morgh (Bird and Flower) motif on a 0.8 mm (Gauge 20) tinned copper plate. Masterfully executed using traditional hammers and steel chisels, a detailed bird rests on a blooming branch, surrounded by an intricate Tazhib (illumination) border. The deep contrast between the textured dark background and the polished silver-toned engraving emphasizes a timeless cultural narrative. Framed dimensions: 32.5×32.5×3cm
