Here it is.. what is this technique? Can anyone be of assistance? Thanks in advance, and again, apologies for the delay. |

a clearer shot? Put a sharpening 'tool' on it in photoshop but not a dramatic difference.

TCole, have you had a magnet on the item to make sure it is not blackened/blued steel?

The background looks like darkened steel to me and not brass. The work looks like gold bidri to me.
It would be extremely difficult to inlay brass like this. |

It is not steel.. and I've read/heard that bidri work is done w/brass in addition to silver and gold. The pitting of the brass, the wear it has received as opposed to the black material which is unscathed is interesting. Bidri is a zinc composite with inlay work in silver, gold or brass... but brass is SO much harder than gold, now I am wondering is it low grade gold? Never seen a brass surface become so worn and pitted. Has anyone else??
