Salaams all~ Just adding detail to library. Great books;
1. Markets and Merchants of The Islamic World . The Bazaar. By Walter M Weiss. Kurt- Michael Westerman.
2. and another historical department essential tool in unravelling Omani History ; History of Currency in the Sultanate of Oman. (Central Bank of Oman).
From these I have selected a general picture from the first book of Isfahans Masjed(Mosque) e-Sheykh Lotfollah and swords (with plagiarised cartouche) from the section on Damascus and a decorative page cartouche from the(2) Omani coin publication.

Regards Ibrahiim al balooshi.
