Pala for Comments
 
3 Attachment(s)
Per the request of a friend of mine, to whom this pala belongs, I am posting it here for comments. Here are some measurements:

82 cm long
37 mm wide
46 mm wide at the yelman
3 mm thick, 5 mm at the yelman's thickest point

What appears to eb slightly unusual about this one is that the yelman has a central ridje, and the blade is slightly wider and thinner than other examples. Not sure if it is possible to distinguish whether it was made in the Balkans or Asia Minor. There is a pattern on the blade, which looks mechanical to me (not wootz).

Any comments are much appreciated. Thank you,
Teodor
