"Arabesque is one of the patterns that has existed all over the world since ancient times, although it looks slightly different. It was probably preferred because the way it stretched and grew on the vines suggested eternal life. This carving, which is accompanied by a flower of imagination, is a horizontal round shape that is also a feature that can be seen from time to time in the rising of the age. The plate is a mountain copper (yamagane) base with a deep color, and the surface is struck with fine stone joints, highlighting the arabesques and flowers that express a simple muscle carving with changes in intensity."
