A Rare Sighting of a Fish

Hello all, I have attached several photos of a Jambiya that our family acquired in Yemen in 1964.

I have never seen an anthropomorphic image on an Arabian edged weapon before and wanted to share this with you. I think the Arabic script is beginning of the Shahada.

I think it is zoomorphic...
You have many examples on this forum with jambiya's blades decorated this way.
:)
