I know nothing about it but I see my favorite ornamentation! It was usual for Caucasus in 19th and much earlier for another regions of Asia. I like it.
And later in Russia. I am happy, thanks a lot! |

But I also see in him the influence of Turkic and Slavic traditions. I would venture to suggest Bulgaria or Serbia. |

This is unquestionably Oriental, most likely Islamic.
Artzi has a somewhat similar one ( see pic) attributed to the Ottomans. I would put this one farther East: Afghanistan or Central Asia. |

And pierced metal borders of the holder ( first pic). Afghanis loved this element of decoration and used it widely.

I don't see pierced metal either. What I see is pierced leather with the stitching missing.

Looks like shiny metal border to me.
Maybe, I do need new glasses... We can ask Lee to verify it with the owner. Kubur: I cannot recall your earlier post about Afghani bandoliers. |

THESE APPEAR TO BE …… Omani . The design style confirms this in the silver caps>>> Omanisilver.com illustrate Othmanli links and there other similar structures from the east and bamboo containers seen carried in a bag perhaps attached to a belt or carried separately. The same designs are seen on Omani rings and bangles and a similar type of cap is used on Ladies Kohl containers. Often the metal container is multi sided like the Islamic Minarette … The cap itself is shaped like the Mosque Dome. HERE ILLUSTRATED THOSE Multi sided containers from http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ANI+MATCHLOCKS Dome topped kohl containers complete the trio...below Last edited by Ibrahiim al Balooshi; 17th October 2019 at 05:10 PM. |
