The Richness of ‘Zamineh Por’ Engraving:

This captivating copper “Dakhil” (a traditional lidded container) is a superb example of the demanding “Zamineh Por” (filled background) Qalamzani technique. In this style, the artisan meticulously engraves the entire surface of the metal, leaving almost no negative space, creating a richly textured backdrop that makes the main design stand out dramatically. The central motif is a lively and intricate “Majles Bazm” (Banquet Scene), rendering traditional Persian festive gatherings with incredible figural detail across the curved surface. The warmth of the pure copper enhances the depth and density of the engraving, making this piece a compact yet intensely detailed treasure perfectly suited for sophisticated interiors.
