Gene, if you'd not mention 'bronze', I'd be almost certain it is silver. It's unbelievable to see this kind of quality and detail on bronze. This is one of the best I've seen as well. I also like bronze and brass, and especially damascened: 3-metal "Mamluk Revival" types. I realize it's off the scope of this forum (so I'll PM you personally), but I'd like to thank you for posting the great closeups of such a rare and truly beautiful item.
