Sirupate, thank you for the additional information on shakudo!
I had no idea it extended that far into antiquity and in those civilizations. My only familiarity came from references on smallswords using this type of motif. Naturally the decoration on Indian sword hilts has its own complexities, but I could not resist noting the similarity. |
