عمل اوسته احمد صاحب صالح اغا ما شاء الله
کرفتار ایتمه یا رب بو قولوک نار جحیمه ‘amel-i usta ahmed sahib salih ağa giriftar etme ya rabb bu kuluń nar-i cahime ‘The work of Usta Ahmed, the owner is Salih Ağa. Subject not, O Lord, this slave of yours to the burning fire of hell.' |
And the rosette contains the names of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus and their dog.

I just saw your translation, thank you very much kwiatek!

Very nice yatagan!
Im not sure, but that yatagan could be made in a place near Dubrovnik, they were specialised in that sort of small granulated filigran silverwork, they made yatagans and pistols kubure. Skadar allso made similar silverwork. |
