The sword shown from the Met has multiple early Ottoman features including the bow-tie shaped scabbard fitting, the fine detailed niello scrollwork, and the detailed floral shape where the crossguard inserts into the top fitting.
While I've seen that last feature on Persian shamshirs, the feature is itself more indicative of Ottoman influence on Persian arms than vice versa. |
