Hi Jens,
I posted them again with some arrows and labels, but I don't know if it will help much. |

The Story
A semi educated guess .
This blade may show elements from the Ramayana portraying the rescue of Sita by Hanuman and his monkey army . Some links : http://www.sanatansociety.org/indian...of_hanuman.htm |

There better pix Derek!
I think fork tail equals fishes or mermaids rather than Naga. Other than that afraid I cant help. Any Brahamins in the house? Spiral |

One side of the blade may represent Hanuman giving Sita Rama's signet ring in the forest garden of Ravana's castle .
The other side may represent the marriage of Sita to Rama ; the fish tailed women may represent the companionship of Women in its perfection . There is a goddess in Hindu mythology that is fish tailed . Rick < Not a brahmin but a googler  >
