Never seen anything like this. However, maybe giving some dimmensions might help.

No, definitely not. The hilt is heavier than the blade.
Incidentally, it is fine mechanical damascus. |

I have never seen anything quite like this before . but to me it looks like something from the Arts & Craft movement of the 1890s

It looks Indian . The way the blade is worked in two huge fullers...

My first impression was also Indian. The only basis for my opinion is the way that this blade, in common with some quality Indian blades, is treated as though steel was an entirely plastic medium. Working steel as though it was modeling clay is a feature which has made a deep impression on me.
That said, it is nothing I've ever seen before. It's a lovely, dramatic piece, to my eyes anyway. |

Precisely my impression: like clay.
It’s lines just flow.. One of the most beautiful examples of metalwork I’ve seen. |
