the main thing to identify it
- must have engraving inside the bowl, and may be outside

- the oldest and rear one, have the Salomon seal, on the middle

it's a field of few more or less .... crazy for

Salaams Dom ~ Great collection. I have had a few of those through my hands and retain 3 in my private collection... I consider these and marks/decorations on coffee pots pottery and other artefacts all linked to ethnographic swords etc etc.. They exist together. Great pictures of Bedouin etc I have the same book Syria full of great artefacts.
