For your bidding pleasure in this lot is a collection of four wonderful Middle Eastern inlayed quirts. The first quirt has a handle made of wood with brass serpentine and Mother of Pearl diamonds inlayed in the grip. The "quirt" part is of thick wrapped leather. The next two quirts have metal handles with brass serpentine, twisted rope, and brass, red, and blue and red and green medallions on them. Both quirts have small rings on the one end for a wrist loop and leather falls (Lashes) on the other end. The last quirt is inset with Lapis Lazuli diamond shaped stones that are accented with brass twisted rope and serpentine patterns. The handle of this quirt is so fine that when the original falls came off, or were damaged, they were replaced with a leather tab and lash. These quirts make wonderful showpieces with wear and damage to be expected from their age.
