Burmese "koftgari" question

[Nick Wardigo]

I assume you mean a variation on the technique of pounding silver wire onto a scored surface. I usually call such types of decoration "overlay" as opposed to "inlay," which is, of course, silver wire forced into a carved channel. In the absence of an appropriate Burmese term, I think English is fine (or, at least, preferable to the Indian term).
