Bidriware
Indian metal handicraft / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bidriware is a metal handicraft from the city of Bidar in Karnataka, India. It was developed in the 14th century C.E. during the rule of the Bahmani Sultans.[1] The term "bidriware" originates from the township of Bidar, which is still the chief center of production.[2] The metal used is white brass that is blackened and inlaid with silver.[2] As a native art form, Bidriware obtained a Geographical Indications (GI) registry on 3 January 2006.[3]
