Ayat ul Kursi Calligraphy Brass Katori with Meena Colors
$19.00
Ayat ul Kursi is the verse so many of us keep close — by the door, in the car, at a bedside. Here it's engraved around a brass bowl and lit with Meena colour. Each is engraved by hand in Lahore, then filled with the jewel tones of traditional Meena...

Raised from a flat sheet under thousands of hammer blows, the dimpled surface a record of the making.

Cut into the metal line by line with a fine steel chisel, the qalam.
Naqsheen
Floral and geometric patterns chased into the surface freehand by the naqash.
Used in this pieceSand Casting
Molten brass poured into a sand mould packed by hand, then broken open to free the piece.
A Note from Amara
Ayat ul Kursi is the verse so many of us keep close — by the door, in the car, at a bedside. I wanted it carried on something small enough to live anywhere, engraved by hand in Lahore and filled with Meena colour so it holds light the way old enamelled pieces do.
