a new one which I hardly have seen:
the round top of the hilt / grip and not "fancied up" with metallic support or decoration. Be it as support of the blade or just as an additional decoration. Total lenght: 36 cm, bichaq only 35 cm Judging by the decorations on the blade, this looks exactly the same like the Sarajevo ones I have prior the Austrian occupation in 1878 or the latest in the transition 1878. So definetly Ottoman period, which I would judge timewise between 1850-1870. The round top reminds me of the Ottoman gravestones in Bosnia, specially in Sarajevo which were in Ottoman times decorated with this turban-like decoration at the top, which looks similar here with the bichaq... Your thoughts please, what do you think ? or is it just a misplaced silly and wrong assumption ? Last edited by gp; 14th August 2022 at 12:54 AM. |
