The Art of Repoussé and Chasing (Qalamzani):

This exquisite Sonboldan embodies the ancient Persian art of Qalamzani, a meticulous metalworking technique involving shaping the metal from the reverse side to create a design in relief (repoussé) and then refining the details on the front (chasing). This particular piece showcases a magnificent high-relief rendition of a traditional Chogan Battle Scene, a motif deeply rooted in Persian history and culture, symbolizing valor and heritage. Crafted from tin-plated copper, its intricate details and robust form are a testament to the master artisan’s skill and dedication.
