the main thing to identify it
- must have engraving inside the bowl, and may be outside
- engraving must contain Surat (or part) "Ayat al-Kursî"
- the oldest and rear one, have the Salomon seal, on the middle
after, there is a long speech possible about it, but it will bother everybody,
it's a field of few more or less .... crazy for

Fascinating thread chaps!

Heres a picture Artzi posted once before, from the book: In the Footsteps of Abraham, The Holy Land in Hand-painted Photographs . Hardiman, Richard and Speelman, Helen.

Coffee pots in use also to help the weapon angle Shybria, a sword, shooters & a Druze khanjar..
