Jens,

What kind of work is it on the hilt?

Nidhi,

The hilt is gilded silver and the enamelling technique is champlevé. You have to be careful when judging the picture of the disc, as it was cleaned just before it was taken, and the light was very sharp. I am not yet sure from where it comes, but as the red enamel is brownish, it could indicate Sind or that area. It is a pity it is not more intact, but it was my first enamelled hilt and I bought it many years ago.

Intact or not Jens is is a wonderful example.

If you could show your other beautiful example here as a comparison, it would be most appreciated!

Do I remember correctly that the best and most transparent colours come from Lahore area?

Best,
Richard.
