the glorious and undeniable indication of the previous metalwork of Iran and Isfahan. Persian
Metalwork Engraving is perhaps the most continuous and best-documented artistic medium from
Iran in the Islamic period. Each hand engraved item may take up to one week to be finished
depending on its size.
