This traditional zakat measuring cup is an Islamic-inspired craft piece, made from engraved copper and richly decorated with Arabic calligraphy, geometric motifs, and arabesques finely chiseled.

Long ago, this type of vessel served as a measure for grains, dates, or other foodstuffs used in calculating and distributing the Zakat al-Fitr, according to traditional customs. Beyond its utilitarian function, it bears witness to the skill of artisans specialized in copperwork.

Today, this bowl is a remarkable collector's item, an oriental decor piece, or a testament to Islamic craftsmanship heritage.
