An Ottoman Islamic copper crescent form finial

An Ottoman Islamic copper crescent form finial, the base edged with initials 'AJ' and the date '1922', possibly 18th / 19th century, 101.4cm high.

The inscribed date of '1922' on this present lot probably relates to the Greek/ Turkish war which came to an end in October of the same year. There is a possibility that it was removed from a mosque or building by one of the armies.
