A Moroccan "wedding nimcha". Sometimes they have the smaller flyssa blades that were produced after the mid-19th century for "travellers".
The flyssa blades may have been produced by Kabyles at first, and then copied - with quality suffering greatly in my opinion - around Algeria and Morocco. The handle is based on the Moroccan nimcha, so I'm further inclined to say this is a Moroccan piece. This one is still far better than the "new" ones with blades stamped out of sheet metal. Cheers, Emanuel |
