Abstract

This paper aims to study three metal buckets, made of bronze, from the Museum of Islamic art in Cairo, these three bronze buckets will be published for the first time. The study includes a description of these buckets, an explanation of the functional values and classification of their design styles. This study, also, includes an analysis of the inscriptions and decorative elements of these buckets. The noticeable thing is the very small sizes of these buckets; this topic leads us to reconsider the actual usages of these buckets, in order to get a closer idea of those usages; which these buckets were made for; this topic increases the importance of this study. This study will date these buckets and determine the provenance of them.
