It may or may not offer directions and there are various methods of inlay, some twisted, something that I have seen on many SEA weapons, I guess more so because that is my main area of interest, some appear only to be finely chiseled with copper, silver or gold leaf is hammered in to the cut outs to fill them, others are done over deep cross hatched Koftgari type applications.

Just a point of interest.

Hello Gav
Here is a macro photo of the inlay. Seems to be made with twisted wire
I'll check as soon as possible with a digital microscope
