Yikes!!!
So takoubas did have steroids too!!!
This one is amazing, and it would seem significant as perhaps a ceremonial type bearing sword? If I understand correctly these extra wide blades would suggest power etc. and of course much easier to see in a large assembly of tribesmen.

I always forget, that four petaled floral motif seems often seen, but can it be more or less specific to origin from a certain tribe or region?
