Two men and an eagle

vinegar brought these pictures up? I ask for a practical reason; I have an old Persian(?) spear with faint old etching, about 50% visible on one side, but only about 5% on the other. The surfaces are fairly smooth and nice; not very seriously rusted; just worn/polished off over the years, I guess.
It looks like European frisket etching? The blade does look European, too, but remember where Mooroco is; I've found Euroisms in Moorish work, and it's not surprising. This is somewhat similar to a khoumiya I have; anyone have comment on age/tribe/region?
