  • Who knows?

    Bought it recently, it's hallmarked (double). Does somebody knows something about the origin/date? One of the marks looks like a 'tugra' (Ottoman empire?). I followed the comments on Tunesian and Siva cuffs of Ann Porteus and Susan Kaplan, and like the interesting story of the fish symbol.
