ANTIQUE EGYPTIAN SILVER PANEL, FAMILY TREE OF PROPHETS, ISLAMIC, EARLY 20 C. This is a stunning silver easel-backed panel from Egypt, made during the early 20th century. It contains beautiful engravings showing the family tree of prophets. The engravings sit against a punched background and the panel is supported by a two-footed easel.
The tree's trunk is stacked and layered with repeating, vertical segments of individual bark. Written on these segments are names, a...nd the same for the leaves protruding from the branches and twigs of the tree. Some of the leaves are smooth and rounded while others are jagged and more unique. An Egyptian hallmark can be seen in the lower half of the panel to the right of the tree.
The easel on the back of the panel is engraved with scrolling, foliate patterns which bear familiarity to traditional Middle-Eastern motifs. A small, vacant cartouche sits near the top. It is taller than it is wider and would be nice for personal inscriptions.
A great decorative silver panel which would suit one's office or bedroom. Size – Height 20 cms; Width 16 cms Weight – 386 grammes
