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.

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.
