Description

Comprising a set of four intricately crafted silver decorative objects, this charming set comes in an elegant red velvet lined case.

In sterling silver and silver filigree - a type of highly skilful ornamental work involving grains and beads of silver - the pieces are a dagger, a pair of earring, a bracelet, and a small, flattened, solid silver gunpowder bottle or flask, also known as a 'talahiq.'

Beautifully crafted with meticulous skill, they were made in Oman in the early part of the twentieth century. The flask is marked 'Oman / 925.'
