Sudanese Haladie?

[Tim Simmons]

Gonzalo, this thread gives me the opportunity to show two of my most inspiring pieces. Clearly there is Indo-Persian link or perhaps a Persian-Indo-Islam link as the triangular stiletto blade covered in script appears to be found from the Sudan to Indonesia. I think the link is more to do with Islam as the Indian decoration is quite different with inlays, depictions of people and on the whole floral in sentiment.
There have been examples of the "Islamic" stiletto shown in other topics. The stiletto has loose form of this script based decoration like the example you show. The axe shown here has a more tight version which frames the Arabic script most successfully, the hook is decorated in the same manner. The halft and the spear point are done in a more loose version.
