A khandjar and a problem
Hi forumnites
I have forged , filed anf produced the below shown Khandjar and its sheath. I know I am not up to the standard of the beautifull pieces shown here: but I wish to improve and complete the sheath mouth and bottom end with the proper finish. My idea is to produce with a "repoussé" technic as the one below: first the sheath mouth and then the bottom part. To that end I have designed the below shown motif : I do not think this drawing to be very good and as I am no artist but only a very modest craftsman, I cannot invent a fitting design for the repoussé work. Now my questions : Is the repoussé the best adapted technic for this work ? Battara may have the answer. Has any of you a photo of a good decoration that I could copy ? Thanks for all answers Michel |
