Brass Çeşmi Bülbül Engraved Erzurum Oltu Stone Bracelet

DETAILS

This bracelet comes off the bench at Taşhan in Erzurum. It is worked in oltu taşı — the black jet mined at Oltu, outside Erzurum — a soft stone that hardens under polishing. The listing names çeşmi bülbül, the spiralled 'nightingale's eye' glasswork. The Erzurum workshop keeps the full record of this piece, so collectors deal with the maker directly.
