Interesting and unusual indeed and that might be the reason why you didn't get any replies so far.
Anyhow, it is quite clear they weren't meant for battle but for dress, ceremonial or other purposes (tourist market?). ![]() |

Perhaps a close up picture of the inscriptions and a translation would shed some light on these pieces.

I don't believe they are tourist pieces. I think they may have originally been Indian and then made their way into Persia or Afghanistan. Hopefully someone will translate the inscriptions.- bj
