Default A khandjar and a problem

Hi forumnites

I have forged , filed anf produced the below shown Khandjar and its sheath.


I know I am not up to the standard of the beautifull pieces shown here:


but I wish to improve and complete the sheath mouth and bottom end with the proper finish. My idea is to produce with a "repoussé" technic as the one below:

first the sheath mouth and then the bottom part.
To that end I have designed the below shown motif :



I do not think this drawing to be very good and as I am no artist but only a very modest craftsman, I cannot invent a fitting design for the repoussé work.

Now my questions :
Is the repoussé the best adapted technic for this work ? Battara may have the answer.
Has any of you a photo of a good decoration that I could copy ?
Thanks for all answers

Michel
