Here another specimen, quite elaborated Pamor, yet also kind of typical - a twisted rod (?) in the upper third, two twisted rods in the middle. Perhaps there was some different kind of a twisted rod...

A question - as I understand, the work with twisted damascene bars died out in Caucasus after probably at latest 1860. Was it done longer in Turkey/Trabzon...
