Name/Title

Copper Bowl (Bedros)

Description

The inscription reads “ՂՈՒԺՈՒՄՃԻՕՂԼԻ ՊԵՏՐՈՍ 1768,” transliterated as “GHUYUMJIOGHLI PETROS 1768.” In English, this translates to “Bedros, son of Ghuyumji, 1768,” with “Ghuyumji” meaning “jeweler.” It is possible that “Ghuyumji” refers to a family name, similar to “Ghuyumjian” or “Kuyumciyan.” The piece appears to have some tin on it, suggesting it may have been used for eating.
