Basin of Sultan Qaytbay, ca. 1468–96, Attributed to Egypt or Syria, Brass; inlaid with silver, H. 5 in. (12.7 cm), Metal, The reign of Sultan Qaitbay (1468–96), the last great Mamluk sultan, briefly revitalized the declining metalwork industry, but not to the heights of fourteenth century production. The repoussé work that creates the lobed petal?like form is typical of the late Mamluk period, as are the pincerlike termini of the vertical letters in the inscription
