Lion and Sun Plate, Hand Engraved in Copper
This 20cm lion and sun plate from our decorative plates collection honours the Persian lion and sun, the shir o khorshid, a motif that has stood for power and enlightenment through centuries of Persian art. Made from premium copper and engraved entirely by hand, the design sets silver against warm copper hues so the lion and rising sun catch the light from every angle.
Craftsmanship in Every Line
Skilled artisans work the surface in the tradition of Persian metal engraving, cutting the intricate borders and the central emblem line by line. The result is a piece of traditional artistry with a depth that printed reproductions never achieve, well suited to classic interiors and collections of Persian craft.
A Small Copper Wall Plate with Versatile Uses
Durable as well as decorative, this small copper wall plate mounts on the wall as a wall accessory or sits on a stand wherever you want a note of Persian history: a hallway ledge, a study shelf or a gallery wall grouping. At 20cm in diameter it fits where larger pieces cannot, and it makes a fitting gift for anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship and cultural heritage. If you would like the same emblem at a grander scale, see our Shir o Khorshid lion and sun wall plate, 30cm.
