I was just wondering, if this is calling out to Ali as well, could this have belonged to a Shi'ite raja. There were some Shi'ite groups in India.

Well (a deep subject!

) here are the pictures I promised, finally. I made the tassel ring out of brass and oxidized it.

Enjoy

Definitely worth some days of rice and beans, Jose! Nice brass work. What did you use to cut it out?

Thank you......I used a titanium coated drill bit and then my jeweler's saw, followed up by a little use of chasing tools for minimal detail and some polishing. I used the original pin.

Before all this I had to find some really thick brass scrap and forge it to the right thickness and width. I did all this in my spare time inbetween jobs.
