Koftgari is the Indian form of damascening which closely resembles the damascening found in Persia and Syria. The inlay process begins after the piece is molded and fully formed. The intended design is engraved into the base metal and fine gold or silver wire is then hammered into the grooves.

The English term comes from a perceived resemblance to the rich tapestry patterns of damask silk. Read More
