Doesn't look Ottoman at all to me.


But I guess most auction houses make some glaring mistakes quite frequently. I have spotted them at Czerny's, HH, Thomas del Mar, Bonhams and Christie's... so nothing new or surprising.

PS: Even Elgood has made some mistakes...

Agree with Battara most unlikely to be diamonds so poorly mounted in brass.
