Katar Cross hatching & inlay
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			The umbrella applied with a cross hatching technique, either a gold wire or a gold sheet appliqué.   The dots and triangular marks appear to be a form of punch inlay.   
 
The umbrella gold overlay looks fairly thick, and in some places it seems to follow the wootz pattern. Is that true?
