step by step here we are
as I suggest it, the decor is not in accordance with origine; Muslim countries
I extract the 2 principal part of decor
- 1 style flower with 6 petals
- 1 webbed or Byzantine cross
it last decoration, I repeat myself
is not easy for a good Moslem to associate a croos decor on a blade carried by him, but by a Greek no problem
the Greek Moslems are rarer than one Turkish Christian
in Sofia mosque (St Sophia) in the marble was engraved exactly the same type of crosses,
all must of them have been erased when the church became a mosque
