The tall, elegant silhouette is defined by a sharply tapered neck, an upturned beak spout, and a riveted strap handle secured with an iron-forged mounting plate.

The body retains traces of its original silver wash, a finish once applied to enhance both durability and ceremonial presence.

Hammer-raised construction and hand-tooled linear ornamentation emphasize the artisan’s skill, while the subtle irregularities of the surface reveal its entirely handmade origins. A classic 19th–early 20th century ibrik form, it offers both sculptural presence and historical authenticity.
