Description
About The Book: Damascening on Steel or Iron, As Practised in India refers to the ancient Indian technique of inlaying precious metals, typically gold or silver, into steel or iron to create intricate, decorative patterns. This art form, which originated in India and spread to other parts of the world, involves applying the metal into grooves or indentations on the surface of the steel. The process requires great skill to create detailed and aesthetically pleasing designs. Commonly used in weapons, jewelry, and household items, Indian damascening is known for its delicate craftsmanship, with some of the finest examples produced in regions like Delhi and Lucknow.
