    Hello again,
    This is another piece from today.
    I was drawn to the amazingly intricate design, all hand done, and the 3 beautiful relief panels of figures. I've decorated a number of similar surfaces over the years and am very impressed by the application of the design on this piece.
    I don't know what kind of metal it is, only that it's not silver.
    My guess is that the scenes in each of the hammered vignettes represent a story.
    See the photo of the bottom, with trillium like design and Arabic? writing.
    Help is welcome and appreciated,
    Thanks for the looks,
    Tony.
    p.s., sorry, I didn't know what category to place this in.

      budek, beautiful piece! I recently found a very similar piece I was wondering about. Mine is a little more crude, but I also believe it to represent a story. The detail on yours is really amazing. Could yours be nickel over bronze or brass?

      here is mine:
