Elaborately decorated brass tea tin or canister. Carving appears to be of Egyptian origin, it has seven panels of Arabic Calligraphy. The top rim is encircled by seven carved animals. The lid has concentric circles of designs of diagonal bars, braids and diamonds with a crescent moon finial. The hinge is fairly primitive, but is in good working order. Measuring 7" to the top of the finial, and 4.25" in diameter, and weighing just under a pound, this is ready for your tea or incense collection.

This graceful pair of Mamluk Revival Islamic vases have two different Islamic calligraphy cartouches with simple foliate medallions in between. There are also chain details encircling the vase near the top and bottom, as well as semi medallions ringing the bottom. They are the same size, obviously from the same maker, but like many Islamic hand crafted items, are not an exact match. The vases measure 12" tall and 4.5" across and weigh *** ounces each. These were made in the 1960's for the tourist trade.

A well crafted and ornate Wahabi Sword from Saudi Arabia. This is made with a coin silver alloy. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, the surface has a foliate embossing with beaded trim pieces. Also some filigree floret appliques,and extremely fine granulation. The sword fits nicely into the scabbard. This would look great with a little buffing from a polishing cloth. The sword is 28" long and 3.25" at it's widest point. The belt it is attached to is Naugahyde, which was popular in the 1950's and 1960's.
