Next this Choora.
The one with the 'orange hilt' is a fairly standard modern type. The other one is a bit more interesting.
The hilt appears to be Ivory. Notice the concentric age cracks? Could that be Walrus!
The top of the spine is nicely worked and has an attached plate with what looks like it might be an inscription in Arabic.
Unusual in my experience.
Perhaps a close-up will be translatable by Lotfy?
