Hello dear members,
I would like to show you this large eagle, 20,8 inches high... Iranian origin i think. Really well made of damascened steel. The golden central calligraphy contains ''Bismillah el Rahman el Rahim'' but maybe there is another script. I was looking for a date or a signature but I don't know... Sure, date and signature could help to fix the period, It seems Qajar and is really well made but maybe it's more recent work, In Qajar 19th- early 20th damascened steel birds statues, I find a lot of Peacocks, pigeons, falcons but could'nt find ( what I think is ) an eagle... Help is welcomed ![]() Kind regards |

Thank you Marius !!
and congratulations to those amazing skillful craftsmen !! For the date, I don't think it's end of 19th century, too ''well preserved'' more around 1920 I guess, not later, after 1925 ,Koran verse were momentarily less popular in Iran... but maybe a private commission... |
