Happy New Year, All!

Just joined recently, here's my first post. Can anyone help me identify what in blazes this dagger is? I'm told it's Persian, but I can't find another one like it online. Reminds me of an Indonesian Gunong, but the decorations don't quite work for that.

It's 10 inches including the scabbard, 9 inches without it (5" blade, 4" handle). Seems to be made of wood, bone and brass, with a definite patina to the brass, guessing it's 20+ years old.

Any help identifying where it's from, what type, etc., would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, all.

Here are a couple of close ups:
