Hi
Nice kora. You can see the quench area on the edge (the whitest part), as much as some fold on the steel .
Those tend to be late, i would say late 19th early 20th. The mounts and the ricasso have a strong Indian feeling. Which imo confirm the later period age for this sword.
The eye is the "eye of Kali", here to look at the sacrifice.
Hope this help,
Julien
