Remarks
In the context of describing the possessions and legacy of Hasan Katkhuda Iryan al-Julfi, the author mentions a decorative 'qafas' (cage or container) featuring four silver figures that were gilded with gold. This is a clear historical reference to the use of gold as a decorative and protective layer in Ottoman-era Egypt (p. 193).
