No, not Ottoman. They had better taste

The one from Artzi's collection ( subsequently published by Khorasani) shows couples engaging in sexual intercourse in different positions and another naked woman watching them and an inscription " You stabbed me hard 1000 times, but I would not die unless you stab me with this blade" ( I changed the Khorasani's translation a bit to make it readable).
Khorasani then explained that it was likely a gift to a man from his loving wife and the depiction of another woman was just to excite his sexual fantasy.
Ottomans used ornaments of carnations and tulips.

- it should easily etch a nice dark Persian pattern ... with ivory handle.. oh that is fantastic
