It looks thoroughly Indian to me.
What is the flower represented by the end of the hilt? |

No idea Timo, I think its just a flower that fits into that place, the buds of the open flower are on the sides of the hilt.

I put my vote on an art dagger.

I wonder if this is not an example of modern bladesmithing art. If that is the case, with all the different influences the blade seems to hold, i am not sure that the area of origin would be of much significance in the global community of modern smithing art.

I do agree that the form of this dagger does not fit any known style, at least to my eyes, thus perhaps mross and David could well be close to the truth.

The form of this dagger is fraught with symbolism.
