This bowl is decorated with band of chased floral scrolls at the rim. It was made using the lost wax brass cast technique whereby wax model of the bowl was made and clay applied to the model. After drying, the clay cast was heated which will result in the wax melting away. Molten brass was then poured into the mould to replace the ‘lost wax’. The brass was then allowed to cool and the mould broken away. The bowl was then finished with filing and polishing.
