Salaams all I noted the decorative technique of studding Feruze onto small silver boxes and jewelery by master craftsmen in Kabul. Naturally and as stated above this was for talismanic effect and design...Like many techniques there is bound to be some overlap so that Turkomen Jewellery etc exhibits similar designs and methodology to Afghan, Tajic and a host of other ethnic groups in what we now call Afghanistan. (and neighboring countries) When I was in Kabul I tried all the well known collector names for the different knives and daggers but Kard was what they use for any dagger I saw.
