Great shape and patina.
Absolutely splendid. The 3 pieces are actually but this is the one that I dont have! Fantastic background and lighting...........Such an incredible pic. Congratulations.
We used to sell lots of old Tuareg pillowcases- now much harder to find- and we have just a few left that I like to use for backdrops of photos. I like the extreme form of this; it is so exaggerated compared with many kitabs of this style. This one is quite large too.
Its fabulous for its size, its shape, the details of the etching, the mix of metals, its age (and the background of course). I have seen a lot of these but I think that this is the best ever ..........
like the others said before, this shape is absolutely great! Love that form, elegant, beautiful and rare !!!!!
