As far as i know, traditionaly they used a paint called "minio" to paint the inside side of the horns, to protect them from insects. THis paint was made using some metal ingredient, and it came out always red. Because the horn is transparentit also gives a nice colour to the outer side of the horn, in the handle that is visible. So maybe protection and also beauty are the reasons for this colour.

Kurt, send clearer images to my email (on PM) and I will do the translation. Already managed to read most of it, just need clear images to be 100% certain.

Hi Kurt, I have not been viewing for several days so have only just seen your Kilij and my mouth is watering, what a beauty, you are very fortunate to own such a handsome weapon. The only bit of translation I could have offered was the date of 1236 AH but you already knew that. Thank you for sharing.
Regards Miguel |
