Go on...show us your Choora!!

[Tatyana Dianova]

I believe that this one can qualify as Choora. It is an interesting example, the very existence of which defies the author of "Edged Weapons of Afghanistan" book. It has a Wootz blade and a Wootz bolster. The rest of the fittings are made of steel with brass details. The handle is made of walrus tooth and bone. I think it is a relatively early Choora example.
