Below these settings, are trefoil repousse designs on the attached plaques, intricately fashioned with the utmost skill and attention to detail. The cylindrical pillars are culminating in a cluster of filigree and are densely covered with beading, adding a touch of opulence and splendor to the already breathtaking design.Size: L:66.2mm / W:13.3mm ; 10.24gProvenance: Property of a London Islamic art specialist collector; previously in a collection formed since the 1980s.
