Originally okair saaz was done on a thin piece of goat height instead of paper. Only one piece of leather wasEngraved in this way, was pasted on to the leather sheet embroidered with tilla. As this low method of using one leather sheet for one piece of ornamentation work resulted in poor output some tilla saaz tried embroidering directly on the leather sheet.
