Koft`ga`ri´

Ornamental work produced by inlaying steel with gold, - a variety of damascening much used in the arts of India.
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, published 1913 by C. & G. Merriam Co.

There may be a bit of koftgari about the inlays but that would not apply to the gross scoring of the surface.

These are examples of what I would refer to as koftgari.
