Is it an inlay? It called my attention the lack of visible crisscross to be koftgari, it seemed too perfect, but I thought the lines were too wide to be an inlay. Altough, photograps can be tricky in relation with proportions and sizes. Yes, the apearance is more like an inlay, but I need to confirm it with you. Thank you.
