Notes	A copper vessel with a lid, made of cast copper, rounded and engraved with interlaced arabesques. It has a round bottom and a flat, tightly closed lid. Although most of the silver inlay has fallen off, some traces remain on the base and sides of the vessel. In the center of the inner surface of the cover there is an engraved and decorated circular shape. Due to the tight closure of the lid, it is believed that the bowl was intended for the use of incense or spices. Although the bowl was made in Syria during the Mamluk period, it was prepared for the European market, especially Venice. In the nineteenth century, some experts believed that this type of metal product was made by Muslim craftsmen living in Venice, and therefore they considered it to be made by 'Venetian Muslims'. However, scientific research had proven at the time that such tools were actually manufactured in Syria and Egypt during the Mamluk era, and were intended for export to the Venetian market.
