UNUSUAL KILIJ FITTINGS - ... EAST EUROPEAN?

Ariel, I completely agree:-) I thought the face looked man-like. The left side has what appears to be a patch of stubble. It could have been a bad attempt to beautify a woman's face...as Ilias mentioned - those folk artists did the best they could. Good point, Ilias.

Ilias, Philip: Thank you, much appreciate your references and effort.

Hi everyone.
Ariel the book that I took the images is a Greek one with weapons and folk items.If you are interested I will inform you the title and the writer.
I add some pictures Alex as I promissed yesterday for your reference about Ottoman remounted blades and some images I found from sword scabbards just to compare the figures.
The detail of the scabbards decoration of the kilij is at the last picture.
Best
Ilias
