Surely we must be looking at a long eared owl. The other things look like human bird transformation? Could the man on the grip be Amirani Georgian hero? he has a dog Q'ursha. Cannot find anything about an owl but some stuff about eagles. Transformation in the myths could be to an owl. Just having some fun on a wet and windy holiday.

I can't help but be reminded of a Husa Khampa from Tibet even though the inscriptions obviously point in a totally different direction. Take a look at mine: It somehow got several similar features in overall shape.

Когда я приобретал этот меч он был заявлен как – тибетский церемониальный меч типа «дпа’дам», но в дальнейшем в ходе обсуждений эта версия не подтвердилась. На форуме присутствуют эксперты по Тибету, Китаю, Кавказу, Востоку которые принимали участие в прошлом обсуждении. Я надеюсь, что они выскажут свои версии. Hello Thomas! When I acquired this sword, he was declared as a Tibetan ceremonial sword of the dpa’dam, but in the future, during the discussion, this version was not confirmed. On the forum there are experts on Tibet, China, the Caucasus, the east of which took part in the last discussion. I hope they will express their versions. |

Спасибо Тим, но по мнению историков албанское государство на территории Кавказа прекратило свое существование в IX веке, а обсуждаемый предмет под этот период не подходит.
Thanks to Tim, but according to historians, the Albanian state in the Caucasus ceased to exist in the 9th century, and the subject under discussion is not suitable for this period. |

Presumably this is the alphabet in question? I'm not seeing most of the characters on the blade though.
Church Slavonic also has some overlap maybe. Last edited by werecow; 2nd January 2024 at 10:54 PM. |

The script might depend on how well it is cut into the blade. The person whow cut it might have been illiterate and copying poorly written script?

looking around came across this thread
http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1655 the sword MAY be Armenian or Caucasian but is it me or this blade is just too crisp to be really old ? I would suggest sending a mail to this Armenian museum https://historymuseum.am/en/հայաստան...#1381;ն/ |
