no one has a Koftgari work
I'm fully agree with you
one day, for some one, the translation of the Koftgari on a beautiful tray,
gave a date, and think remember me, a Sultan name inside a thugra
all the best

HI Dom,

Despite their comparative youth Your astrolabes are beautiful items.

Yes indeed, the Syrian tray!
Much thicker inlay of course. Much of it made by laying thick wires side by side to create a solid.
Interesting technique!

never mind, if I'm subject to censure
here my most beautiful Islamic astrolabes 2 over 9 ... (replicas for indo-Persian)
and my third treasure, an Islamic talismanic bowl in "tombaq" (Ottoman antique)

enjoy ... as well as me, when every day, I see them with pleasure

all the best
