If this kind of work may be classified as filigree, here we have a silver Yemenite jannbyya; in this partcular case a work executed by local Jew silversmiths, judging by the author's signature in Temani dialect.

Not to forget that Portuguese filigree was and is a strong manual industry, specially in the Nort of the country.
Not necessarily in the shape of weapons but, still in the universe of miscellania   . |

just received my latest purchase; a small size filigree sword ( hančár ) or dagger (kama) made by an Albanian silversmith quite some decades ago. Full silver ( approx. 800 )
Total length 20 cm, grip and blade each 10 cm Last edited by gp; 14th March 2023 at 08:23 PM. |
