THANKS FOR POSTING THE NICE EXAMPLES TRAJAN AND KRONCKEW ,QUITE A NICE SELECTION. ESTCRH I CAN'T SAY IF THE AX IS FROM INDIA FOR SURE BUT I DOUBT IT IS FROM EUROPE UNLESS IT WAS MADE UP TO LOOK LIKE A ORIENTAL AX WHEN SUCH THINGS WERE POPULAR THERE. THE MAN WITH TURBAN AND THE CRESCENT MOON LOOKS LIKE IT SHOWS THE ISLAMIC INFLUENCE OF PERSIA OR PERHAPS THE MOORS. I AM NOT SURE WHERE I GOT THE PICTURE BUT IT ENDED UP AS INDO PERSIAN IN MY FILES. SO PERHAPS IT DOES NOT BELONG IN THIS POST

NICE TO HAVE A GOOD LARGE PICTURE OF IT TO LOOK AT ANYWAY. THANKS.
