When in India "died" wootz?

Emanuel,

That's the problem: Anosov described his "bulats" as being Taban and Khorasan.

But please re-read Kirill's e-mail to me: the definitions at that time were different and imprecise. Thus, personal definitions of bulat patterns mentioned by Anosov are unreliable. Indeed, we have not a single known example of his "bulat" with anything but the simplest Sham. The only proof of his definitions would consist of actual examples.

And, by the way, I could not find any message on the Russian forum about Anosov's bulats having "...very different structures, including the most complex"
