Expensive tourist flyssa - Asian handle combo

[Emanuel]

So this thing just ended on eBay at over $300 usd. Obviously a flyssa blade of the shorter 1850+ variety (according to Lacoste-Desjardins) with an intricately carbed bone handle. Since there is little actual brass on the blade and a lot more of the scratches we see on similar "wedding nimcha" blades, I'll hazard a guess that this is more likely early 20th century.
The handle has loads of Buddhist themes and imagery, does anyone have any ideas about it.
An interesting fusion overall...
