One of the best I've seen.
Kurdish or Marsh? Any opinions? |

Marsh. But with a twist.
The ribbons of turquoises are very reminiscent of Bukharan work. I think Elgood in his Arabian book mentions that Bukharan nasters worked in Aravia proper, next door to the Marsh area. |

I have seen turquoise like before on marsh Arab pieces like this before.
Looks like the scabbard is made of silver with some gilding in places. |
