Khandjar with a very similar motif.
Found photos of a Khandjar with a very similar motif.
The same craftsman? Same workshop? Best Kurt |

Looks like glass gemstones, but still nice.

The scabbard is Ottoman Iraqi. I wonder if the gemstones were added later, in Iraq...

Persians had their own calendar, 'Jalali'.
If this is a Jalali date; 1250 would be 1872. Best wishes Richard |

In post 20 above there is an interesting figure on the reverse side of the hilt to the one with the two peri. Does anyone know what that figure is representing?
