Digital photomicrograph showing areas of preserved silver wire and of a larger silver-plate inlay in hammered brass that has been chased to draw the face (right). Some of the silver has been lost, revealing the champlevé preparation for the larger silver-plate inlay (white overlay at center and left). A number of the chased lines would also have been inlaid with silver wire. Ewer, Afghanistan (Herat), ca. 1200, H. 39 cm (Musée du Louvre, inv. OA 5548). See Collinet, Annabelle. 2021.
