Sudanese ceremonial type kaskara

Good Afternoon All

My next offering to the group.

This example has a brass cast cross guard, crocodile skin handle with part of the claw still present thats stitched on and a 24inch blade. The blade although faded is etched either ornate Islamic writing or patterning on both sides of the blade. Its made from a flexible metal and so is definitely an ornamental/ symbolic type kaskara.

Again im unsure of the age or even if its a tourist piece but i do like it.

All comments welcome
