The process involves a sturdy fire, experienced workers, and a decent amount of time.

Because there is no inscription on this piece, we cannot identify its artist. We know that the artist was trained in Islamic metalworking techniques and was familiar with diverse visual traditions. The artist was probably a Muslim but this is not certain.
