Persepolis Persian Copper Plate, Hand-Engraved in the Ghalamzani Style
This 40cm Persian copper plate captures the grandeur of Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the ancient Achaemenid empire. Each piece is hand-engraved in Persian Heritage using ghalamzani, the centuries-old Persian art of chasing and embossing fine designs into metal. Weighing around 850g, the plate is finished in a choice of silver, black or rose gold tones, so the intricate Persepolis relief stands out beautifully as a centrepiece of copper wall art.
