Emanuel, I will be back home and put here clear picture without my joke. And may be some more about Akbar weapons.

I see you have already found the right picture )))

Didn't see it at first, spilled my coffee earlier when I did

Did you know that the lasso was also used, although it was not considered as a noble weapon?

According to Shahnamah, the lasso was used extensively in combat, mainly to capture and drag enemies. It is mentioned as one of the many tools/weapons carried by a warrior.

Excellent, thank you Mercenary! Now if anyone could get a shot from the original manuscript or one of its copies/facsimile that would be great

Jens and AJ, very interesting about the lasso, I did not know that.
