Salaams all ~ The design on tehe scabbards is interesting and follows a design also seem in Omani Architectural windows decoration. Swirl design goes way back in history and it is evident that it has passed through older sword scabbard design onto the straight SAYF dancing blades and curved Kattara. For the "Full Monty" on Omani swords readers are invited to view Kattara for comments where the academic discussion is fully aired.
