Persian metawork, (1898). Creator: Unknown

Persian metawork, (1898). Examples of metal objects with damascened designs including Arabic inscriptions: Figs 1 and 2: Helm [helmet] with shield belonging to it. Fig 3: Border from an armature. Figs 4-8: Decorations on metal vessels. Figs 9-12: Portions of eating-utensils. Figs 1-8 drawn after original objects from the Royal Landesgewerbemuseum at Stuttgart...In all ages weapons, armature and metal vessels of Persian origin were highly estimated in the East as well as in Western countries up to the present day. Being decorated with excellent Damascene work or beautifully embossed, they exhibit in their ornaments the above-described features of the Persian style in perpetual variation. Moreover we are struck by Persian characters expressing proverbs or religious sentences...Animals and human figures are likewise represented in sometimes fantastical imitations. Plate 21 from " The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]
