The sole craft of making antique Armoury with hand is an age long practice being put into use since 3000 B.C. It is a kind of skill that requires utmost levels of meticulousness in terms of putting a range of intricate defense tools into shape.
Creating Armoury has always been considered as
a privileged craft. The supplies used for manufacturing of various
metal works like the breast plates, chain mails, daggers, helmets,
vary from each other owing to the utility that each of them
are used for.
The hilt and the haft materials include metal, ox hide, silver,
iron, steel, bell metal, white metal and several other alloys.
Embellishment of these metal works has always remained a prominent
aspect where magnificent use of skills such as intricate inlay work
and embossing are exercised.
Likewise, a few art works also line
the use of expensive and semi precious stones, war motifs and a great
deal ornamented logos to adorn them with. |
