Abstract

This paper surveys previous research on the his- tory and composition of niello and discusses recipes for niello which are recorded in some mediaeval technological treatises. Analytical results (by X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence in the scanning electron microscope) are then reported for 18 niello inlays in copper, silver or gold objects from a wide range of cultural periods and geo- graphic areas.
