Sudanese ceremonial type kaskara
Good Afternoon All
My next offering to the group.
This example has a brass cast cross guard, crocodile skin handle with part of the claw still present thats stitched on and a 24inch blade. The blade although faded is etched either ornate Islamic writing or patterning on both sides of the blade. Its made from a flexible metal and so is definitely an ornamental/ symbolic type kaskara.
Again im unsure of the age or even if its a tourist piece but i do like it.
All comments welcome
