Here it is; I was wrong it belongs to the shaikh of Bakail. As you can see the niello work is not like the older Yemeni one, even though it copies the old Yemeni niello writings but is of better quality. The scenery is that of the dijla with river boats and some Iraqi monuments. I have seen identical work on daggers coming out of Iraq with gold coins etc.
