Explanation:

Khuransan metalwork were made mainly in Khurasan (northeast Persia), possibly at Nishapur and Herat between the 8th and 13th centuries.The chief differences between this and the Kashmiri metalwork are the ratio of beaten to cast metal,the lead content of the brass medium, and the frequency of inscriptions, but there are also broad similarities between the techniques of inlay (metal) used in both regions.
In both traditions, linear inlay was usually hammered into place along incised and chiselled lines that were undercut.In both Kashmiri and Khurasani inlaid metalwork, therefore, the brass matrix overlies the edges of the silver or copper inlay and holds it in place.Between the ninth and eleventh centuries, Kashmiri bronzes were highly prized in the temples of the Himalayas and plains India.
The rise of small quasi-independent kingdoms on the eastern edge of the Daral-Islam during the same period created the right conditions for the circulation of Indian metal sculptures within Iran and Iraq.
