Sadly it isnt. Its the lower end of quality. I saw plenty of them in Oman and Kuwait, heaviness and solid feel doesnt mean good quality really. When you get to handle the finer examples, you'll know what were talking about :-)

I note that there is some Arabic script on the toe. Perhaps with a clearer pic a translation might be forthcoming...............

good observation Stu. I hope Kubur sends clearer photos of the inscription, but what I can see now it says "shughl Abdulaziz alDojani" (work of AbdulAziz alDojani) but need better photos to be precise.
