<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 97688, member: 37"]Tried to enlarge your pic to have a closer look but it was so large that it locked up my browser and I had to back out. I can't tell if this is inlaid niello work or just tooled copper or brass. If it is niello work, it would be considered Cairo Ware. Either way, this is Middle Eastern in origin with archaic Arabic script as decoration. I doubt it is terribly old as the workmanship is average. Maybe mid 20th century or a bit later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
