The Craft

Hand-Hammering

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

Cutwork

Openwork lace pierced clean through the metal by hand with a fine needle.

Engraving / Qalamzani

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.

Sand Casting

Molten brass poured into a sand mould packed by hand, then broken open to free the piece.

A Note from Amara
Every home has a spot where the small things land — keys by the door, rings by the basin. This is a dish for exactly that, cast in brass in Lahore as a leaf with its veins raised in the metal. A catch-all that happens to be beautiful; in a pair, better still.
