We do not see so many of these in the UK and so it is nice when one turns up.
A little more unusual with the niello work. I guess that the boat scene is topical though. The blade needs work as it looks as though a previous owner has used an electric wire brush on it. Any idea what the script says ? All comments welcome. Roy |

A very interesting piece.
These are from south Iraq and cover a larger area then al ahwar (the marsh area) Yours is most interesting because the inscription says "General Kionqham" a name of an English military general? |
