This brass beaker features a continuous hand-engraved floral motif covering the exterior surface. The decoration consists of stylized petals and geometric forms arranged in repeating bands. The beaker is constructed from a single piece of brass, with a slight taper and a flat, undecorated base. The surface shows areas of patina and signs of oxidation consistent with age and handling, indicative of long-term exposure and use. This form and motif are characteristic of metalwork from regions such as the Middle East during the late Ottoman period, with the engraved decoration serving both ornamental and cultural functions. Measures 4" high and 3" in diameter at top. B
