Hullo Robert,
Sorry. I tried looking for it, but it's hiding in my system somewhere. It'll probably pop up when I'm looking for something else. I obviously hadn't catalogued it as I hadn't deemed it a priority at the time (just a curio).
From what I recall (barring a 'senior moment'
), the damascene pattern was similar to a 'pamor bulu ayam' but not quite. It resembled more a double twist-core (more a series of compressed folding waves rather than a series of lines). I took a second look after I learnt that it wasn't twist-core. I couldn't examine it any closer, as it was 'out of reach'.
Best,
