Luxury Ewer Extending Good Fortune to the Owner

Ahmad al-Dhaki al-Mawsili

Cleveland Museum of Art

Brass ewer with a bulbous body and flared base. Two spouts, one long and thin, the other shorter and thicker, extend from either side of the body. A handle curves from the right side of the body, and a small finial tops the domed lid. The entire surface is decorated with intricate etchings and inlays of silver. Arabic calligraphy and floral motifs are visible throughout. The background of the image is gray.
