Artisans begin with an alloy of copper and zinc, shaping it by hand before inlaying intricate patterns of real silver. The piece is then oxidized using a traditional soil native to Bidar, turning the metal a deep, velvety black and allowing the silver inlay to emerge with striking contrast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach base is entirely handcrafted, from casting to carving to inlay, resulting in subtle variations that make every piece one of a kind.
