I apologize that this is not a translation, but only a few thoughts. This is an Indian work that has two explanations. Researchers who believe in goodness argue that such design is the work of Indian Shiites, who do not know the language and spelling well. Realist researchers believe it is just the additional decoration before selling an item to a non-Indian. Such pseudo cartouches in the Indian style are found even on good Persian blades.
But in both cases it was in the 19th century.
