Salaams all... This hilt does not absorb light but is quite close pinned..There are no splits...I think it is a horn derivative ... usually bovine...With little else to go by I see this as an Omani 4 ringer probably Baatinah. Tee shaped hilt with pins echoing a silver plate shape... The crown at the toe still in place. In Oman wooden hilts are used and the better wood is hard... and smells scented ...and is called Sandalwood. See http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...8&page=4&pp=30 #106
The other possibility is from something Oceanic...  Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. Last edited by Ibrahiim al Balooshi; 26th February 2014 at 08:11 AM. |
