Figs 1, 5-8 and 11 drawn after original objects belonging to Mr. Paul Stotz, manufacturer at Stuttgart...The manufacture of decorated arms and metal ware was...an important branch of the Indian industrial art, and we have due cause to be astonished at the refinement of taste combined with the highest magnificence of ornamentation. Damascene work...is executed in steel, iron or tin-alloy...The damascened ornaments are made in silver-and gold-foil, fixed on either by pressure or hammering to the metal ground, which has previously been slightly engraved, after which the whole is polished with the burnisher. Plate 15 from " The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]
