Offered for sale is a magnificent vintage Egyptian copper relief artwork. This is a larger, more elaborate version of the classic "Old Cairo" street scene, capturing the vibrant atmosphere of a medieval marketplace with merchants, traditional figures, and iconic Islamic architecture.

Details & Craftsmanship:
Medium: Hand-etched and hand-colored enamel on a copper/brass panel. The scene is likely a depiction of "The Governor" or the streets surrounding the Al-Azhar Mosque.

Dimensions: The full wooden mount measures 14” x 18”, featuring a large central copper relief panel.
Frame/Border: This piece stands out due to its ornate embossed metal border decorated with leaf patterns and classic metal studs. Most examples are found on plain wood; this decorative border indicates a higher-tier production.

Mounting: Securely mounted on a heavy wood backing with a sturdy hanging hook on the reverse side.

Condition:
The artwork is in excellent vintage condition. The copper retains a beautiful warm glow, and the hand-painted enamel colors remain clear and vibrant. There is minor age-appropriate wear to the wood and metal border, which adds to its authentic mid-century charm.
