Legend to the illustrations:
 Metal Work, Embroidery, Weaving and Painting
 Artistically employed, especially in goldsmiths' work, was the so-called "email champlevé". The parts intended to be enamelled on the metal, were deepened with the burin, narrow rims being left to separate the several compartments. The further process is nearly the same as, so called,  "email cloisonné". - A brilliant specimen of that work may be seen in Fig- 4, representing an ancus (instrument used to drive and train elephants). We often meet with illumination in India, betraying however Persian influence and applied to old royal edicts, documents and other manuscripts of religious and poetical contents. Fig. 1. Ancus in chiselled iron. 2 and 3. Pendants and button embossed in gold and chiselled. 4. Ancus, enamelled and adorned with jewels. 5-9. Decorations from enamelled arms. 10.
