Hi Chris and Gav,
Many thanks for your interest and input. Although I see the parallels with some Indo-Persian decoration and construction the shape of the flanges, to my mind, are distinctly European and that along with the decoration is why I plumped for the Ottoman attribution. I'm pretty much in the dark with this piece so any input is welcome. Thanks again.
My Regards,
Norman.
P.S. Gav your P.M. inbox is full.
