    How lovely Angelo, the scultures o the edge, done in refined file grain does look like refined lace work. Special for me.  You write a head decoration, is it slighty dome shaped? GR. Ingrid.

    very slightly dome shape…..1 cm high …..the pomegranate typical Greek symbol of fertility…..

    I love it, I the pomegranate is new to me as well.  Beautiful melding of Greek and Ottoman designs.
