Turned Down Quilon examples. Some are of a style I would say was revivalist seen in some turned down quilons in Indian forms...others beg the question how did this develop such as in the Nimcha style of Morocco. The big group of swords are Swords of The Prophet often worked several hundred years later in gold calligraphy and highly ornate... some quilons straight others turned down.

Of all the questions I am interested in is the relationship with Nimcha ...thus please see my next post.
