Thank you for opening up the thread again Ian. I will not comment any further on that absurd nomenclature derail.

It may be well be wootz, but due to a feature I forgot to show I will not refinish it. It has some geometric decoration at the forte, either applied via (negative) etching or through polishing, I am not sure, very similar to an example from the Ashokaarts archive. It's crude, but of course it has to stay. Last edited by GePi; 16th January 2022 at 02:59 PM. Reason: forgot the pictures :( |

As for the translation, Dmitry was kind enough to forward my request and received the following transcriptions.
The inscription on the front side bolster: نادي علياً مظهر العجائب تجده عونا لك في النوائب Which google translate gave as: "Call upon Ali, the manifestation of wonders, and you will find him to help you in calamities" The upper part of the obverse bolster: كل هم وغم سينجلي بعظمتك ياالله Which google translates as: "All worry and sorrow will be cleared by your greatness, O God" The lower part here is still missing, unfortunately. Anyone proficient in Arabic able to confirm these readings? |

Just to complete the reading already given of the Nadi 'Ali quatrain as it is found on this piece:
SIDE A ناد علیا مظیر العجائب تجده عونا لك في النوائب SIDE B كل هم وغم سينجلي بعمظمتك يا الله [بنبوتك يا محمد بولايتك [يا علي "Call upon Ali, the manifestation of wonders, you will find him a help in hardships/ All worry and sorrow will be dispelled, by your greatness O God, By your prophethood O Muhammad, by your trusteeship [O 'Ali!]" For some reason, the final words "O Ali" appear to be missing, or at least I cannot see them. Presumably not enough room on the bolster |
