<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9462196, member: 8267"]That was my first impression as well - the inlaid design looks like bidri. But the bowl appears to be wood (too hot to hold if it was metal). Technically, bidri is a technique of inlaying silver on an alloy of zinc and copper, followed by a special method of patination to create the dark contrast with the bright silver. Is it still considered bidri if it is on wood?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
