Almost the entire surface, including the inside of the thin blades is finely decorated in floral patterning, exemplifying the intricate craftsmanship of gold damascene metalworking during the late Ottoman period.

Another rare feature is a lock on one side, enabling to lock and unlock the blades. Scissors like this one were considered a catchy "must-have" tool by the Ottoman elite.
