Nice Persian TABAR for comment

The top was added by me

I have to find a more suitable spear or something like it

Blades are very functional anf sharp, tappering towards the edge. 2cm wide at the conjunction. It has a feel of a battle piece, not of a tourist crap. I'm familiar with typical qajar revival and 20th century tourist pieces. Thatone is totally different.

It was found covered by dark patina. The koftgari appeared only after it was cleaned. I used a mild cleaning solution.

Not a recent toy, for sure.

However I have no idea of its origin nor provenience. It could be Indian, like Tim suggested. The koftgari is verry simple an unfamiliar to me. Maybe from Sudan?
