I hate to disagree with Ward, but it seems to me that there are 2 styles: silver fittings are Caucasian ( Circassian?) whereas the throat is much newer and obviously Arabian.
We absolutely need to see the rest. |

Do I see a rudimentary yelman?
Close-up of the inscription? Is the handle of fixed width throughout or is it widening toward the base? |

middle fittings with the rings look circassian to me. never seen similar ornaments on arabian silverwork. same with the drag, but cannot see details well enough to be more certain. check astvatsaturyan's book.
