Default Decorations on arms of Central Asia

This is what I find to be a brilliant article on the decorative features on arms of Central Asia. I like very much the no-nonsense, pragmatic and scientific approach based on features, not on anecdotal stories.

I believe it can serve as an excellent reference for identifying and classifying Central Asian weapons.

I also believe it was written by a former fellow member, so I am not sure if I am allowed to publish it.

However, since it was openly published as a research project, and it is freely available on the UNESCO website, I assume it is "open source," so just look it up (from page 66 to 96):
