No, it looks to me like the accidental alloy banding of a crucible steel with 0.6 - 0.7 % Carbon, rather than the purposeful patterning of wootz with more than one percent carbon, with of course the standard 'you can't really tell from a couple of internet photos' caveat - kudos to this ebayer for putting some better than average photos up though.
Nice blade either way!
