Gene, it is most interesting planter, and it is true that part of the decorations can be seen on Indian weapons. The decorations at the top and the bottom of the planter are often used in Deccan, but you can also see them used in other parts of India.
Nidhi, thank you for 'translating' the abbreviations and for showing the old photos. It gives the decorations a deeper perspective when you have something to compare the decorations to.
