Sorry, I forgot to mention the the enamelled top mount is also enemelled at the very top as is the loop at the top of the hilt.
Ariel, you may have a point, but what about the enamel colours? Could they make them so bright? I know, that in spite of what others thought at the time, Hendley for one believed that enamel original came from Turkmenistan. In Egypt enemal from about 1700 BC has been found - so the art of enemalling is very old. Last edited by Jens Nordlunde; 6th November 2005 at 04:19 PM. |
