Forged Heritage: Ottoman Shield

A striking display of technical metalwork and spiritual calligraphy, this heavy brass shield serves as a commanding focal point. The convex form provides architectural depth, while the dense engraving work roots it deeply in traditional Islamic arts, ideal for a sophisticated study or a curated collection of metalware.

This Ottoman shield is hand-hammered from solid brass to achieve its consistent convex silhouette. Its defining characteristic is the complex, circular calligraphic engraving that covers the entirety of its surface. Using meticulous chasing and etching techniques, the artisan has inscribed sacred texts, representing the 99 Names of God (Asma-ul-Husna), arranged within precise radial and concentric segments.

Diameter: 50 cm (19.7 inches) / Depth: 5 cm (2 inches)

The background features a hand-applied dark patina, which deliberately contrasts with the raised script to emphasize the three-dimensional depth of the metalwork. A continuous rim of hand-set brass rivets secures the outer edge, completing its authentic, martial aesthetic.
