Inlay Decoration is a gunsmith finish from the Anubis Collection. In-game it reads as weapon | Inlay Decoration: restrained, classical ornament rather than loud, saturated “competitive graffiti.” It arrived with the Anubis theme on 24 April 2023, sits at Consumer Grade, and stays approachable for players building out the Anubis line who care about surface craft more than chasing float lottery wins.

Which cases and packages

You can pull it from the Anubis Collection Package, which opened on 24 April 2023. It also appears in Anubis Souvenir Packages tied to major events—Paris 2023, Copenhagen 2024, Shanghai 2024, and Austin 2025—plus other Anubis Collection drop routes. Souvenir supply often swings with watch-party hype and unboxing waves. Before you commit to opening or buying out, compare souvenir and collection package pricing, turnover, and wear spreads on Steam and C5GAME, then choose direct purchase or pack luck on purpose.

What makes the finish special

Valve’s line for this piece: a custom job echoing acanthus-leaf carving and a marble grip. Gunsmith work here is about material and relief: metal body and handle read as separate layers. Acanthus gives you European decorative rhythm; marble grain lives on the grip, closer to inlaid luxury metalwork than a flat color slap. Consumer Grade, Anubis Collection member. Float runs 0.00–0.76, Factory New through Battle-Scarred. When you shop, do not stop at the number—trace whether leaf filigree stays continuous around the frame and whether the grip marble turns mushy. Flip patterns when you can.

The flavor line—“wealth in the palm”—lands on the grip you actually hold, pairing with the marble handle so inspects feel like handling a small collectible.

What to look for when buying

Use in-game inspect to map pattern placement against wear. Spin the revolver and watch acanthus on edges and transitions: early fade or breaks usually mean a weaker template. Near 0.76, high wear sandpapers fine engravings and marble grain together; if you are storing it long term, favor floats that keep layering intact. Gunsmith skins reward low wear with cleaner metal edges and a sharper stone-to-steel transition—if you display clean pieces, spend extra inspect time on the grip and the ring where body meets handle. Lined up with other Anubis skins, the set reads cohesive. Consumer rarity plus collection and multi-year souvenir routes make this a practical set gap-filler; lock in condition on Steam or C5GAME before you buy blind.
