			Does no one know more about this piece?  I had thought maybe Moghul or Turkish, but information on another thread is saying maybe Persian because of the snake?  Is C 19 correct?  Mine is brazed together (blade, socket, socket-rim), and the blade appears to be lineal laminate, though due to its tenuous pictorial etching, I dare not etch it to find out.
