What Ariel said!
Comparing this with Fig.62 in Cato's Moro Swords I come to the conclusion that it's a variation on the Naga motif . A very nice acquisition ; congratulations !! |

Agree with Rick. A rare Naga variant hilt on a blade that shows a lot of lamination with a pretty etch. Lovely piece. Thanks for showing us this one Artzi.
When you think about moving this one on, well ... you know ... call ... Ian. |
