Wow! I am extremely impressed, this rang absolutely no bells at fist viewing, but Ariel's observation noting resemblance to a lohar was clearly most astute!

Valjhun, nicely done with your identification and comments, thank you.
This is great for the notes on very unusual ethnographic items

Now with this strange item identified I can see a degree of geometric decoration resemblance, and in recalling the earlier discussions on the mysteries of the lohar, I recall observations that they too may be recently produced for souveniers. It is interesting to see these implements and weapons produced in modern times represented vestigially to recall the traditions and history of thier former uses.

Thank you very much gentlemen!!!

All the best,
Jim
