The hand washing kettle is the common bathing and cleaning utensil for Muslim people, known as ‘Holy Water Kettle’. This copper kettle has a quaint and refined shape. Engraved and hollow carved with flowers, plants and Uygur text patterns all over the body, the kettle is not only an article of utility but a perfect work of art.
