<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 402949, member: 2844&quot;]Welcome Bangles.</p><p>It is a gorgeous box. To me it looks like Indo-Persian champlevé enamel.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re right, the style is Indo-Persian, so NW India or Pakistan. The heavy, rather roughly made clasp, the handle, the type of enamel and technique are typical for the Indian sub-continent.</p><p>The enamel looks made in the champlevé technique, so designs cut out of the metal, rather than strips of metal soldered on flat metal, or the metal is cast with a design. The design is filled in with enamel.</p><p>Most Indian and Pakistani enamel is made using this technique, although cloisonné (using soldered strips for the design) is seen as well, particularly on antique pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Could we see a closeup just to be sure it is champlevé and not cloisonné?</p><p>And could we see the inside and the bottom as well? That would help with the time frame.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
