Salaams Iain~ Do you attribute these to Ottoman or Mamluke or Abbasid ? I have them down as Ottoman>Mamluki> Abasiid ~ they are most certainly from the earlier style and could go back as far as the Greek... I wondered where on the ladder you were linking these... or perhaps to the entire lineage? Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi
