Just noticing again this lovely piece.
I am looking at the ferrule and like several I have, it is a floral motif. I think you will agree that it makes the ferrule more interesting, but the quality of the work is dubious(same as it is on mine), especially by standards of what we know the Moros COULD do.
What's your take on that?
I know in the past you have mentioned that some of the better floral motifs on Moro work might be Chinese or at least Chinese inspired...might this be a Moro version of a Chinese motif, minus the eye for detail?
