silver

Ingredients

silver paint

Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text

Silver pigment was applied as paint to create frame lines on the interior leather doublures of the binding (p. 174).

Evidence

"The black-greenish doublure leather has no tooling and is only sparsely decorated with two frame lines painted with silver close to the edge, a modest decoration quite typical for Ottoman leather doublures."

Remarks

On manuscript Or. 1570 (a Diwan dated 1560), the silver decoration is described as modest and typical for such doublures, even though the binding itself is considered a later repair (p. 174).
