Ornate Silver-Colored Repoussé Shallow Basin

This square shallow basin or platter features a highly decorative, scalloped and clover-like rim. The item is constructed from a metallic material, likely silver-plated copper or a white metal alloy, exhibiting a bright, reflective finish. The decorative program is executed in a repoussé or stamped style, showcasing a repeating motif of central heart-shaped fruits (possibly strawberries) flanked by floral blossoms and trailing foliage. The center of the dish remains relatively smooth and flat, bordered by a raised, beaded decorative edge that separates the central well from the ornate sloping walls. Based on the Arabic text overlay, the piece weighs approximately 1 kilogram and measures 26 cm in width. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-20th-century mass-produced decorative item, potentially of Middle Eastern or South Asian origin. Visible condition includes some surface irregularities and significant chromatic aberration or reflections in the photograph (showing pink and green tints), though the base metal appears intact without major denting or tarnishing. The piece displays a blend of traditional folk motifs with industrial manufacturing techniques.
