Sterling silver inlay on an alloy of copper and zinc
Bidriware is a decorative form of metalwork dating back to the 15th century. With its roots in Persia, this craft of silver inlay is unique to the Indian Deccan. This unique metal form is hand casted from an alloy of copper and zinc. The final coating of earth, found only at the Fort of Bidar, transforms the monochrome surface, lending unique depth to the blackness of Bidriware.
