Both weapons are traditionally attributed to Afghanistan, mainly to the Khyber Pass area.
But here are 2 with decorative twists. The Choora has a ribbon of turquoise stones in a typical Bukharan style. Never saw anything like that before. Looks 100% original. Khyber has fittings made of very thick silver, the finial is short unlike the usual Afghani long and slender, but remenescent of Uzbeki style, and the chape is decorated with apple blossoms,- also favourite Bukharan motive. Any thoughts? |
