DETAILS
Taşhan of Erzurum works this prayer strand. 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 the conversation carries on with them.
