"Islamic magic cup" "RARE antique museum quality brass chil - khalid (ritual vessel) from bukhara area uzbekhistan. the vessel is completely engraved with beautiful kufic calligraphy from the holy quran." This was the description stated by the Turkish dealer/collector from whom i bought this beautiful and charming piece. Actually both age and provenance have yet to be proven since there isn't much literature about such pieces. The only certain thing is that this mysterious piece is a great work of Islamic art with all the beautiful kufic engraved calligraphy. Anybody knows more? Mind the size: in 6''x1,5'' h or cm 15,24x3,81
