At the centre, a stylised Tree of Life rises through a densely worked ground of flowers and foliage, inhabited by deer, birds and other creatures rendered in a rhythmic, ornamental style. This central composition is enclosed by multiple concentric bands, including medallions depicting seated figures and equestrian scenes, alongside continuous scrolling Arabic script forming a decorative border. The engraving is entirely executed by hand, with subtle irregularities in line and detail that give the surface a lively and authentic character. The deeply scalloped rim frames the composition and enhances its visual presence. The reverse retains a hanging loop, indicating its intended use as a decorative wall charger. Dating to the late Qajar to early Pahlavi period, this is a striking example of Persian decorative metalwork adapted for interior display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2393\" data-end=\"2456\"\u003eDimensions\u003cbr data-start=\"2403\" data-end=\"2406\"\u003eDiameter: 78 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"2421\" data-end=\"2424\"\u003eHeight: 4 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"2436\" data-end=\"2439\"\u003eWeight: 5.24 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2458\" data-end=\"2636\"\u003eCondition\u003cbr data-start=\"2467\" data-end=\"2470\"\u003eGood condition with age-related wear.
