Tuareg Dagger-Swords + cabalistic engravings

[francantolin]

Hello and thank you for all these specific and detailed informations,

Sorry for the misunderstanding about ''cabalistic'',
''Fake friend'' : in french it means esoteric, talismanic, occult and is not directly associated with the hebrew Kabala ( in etymology sure !!!)

Even if the snake representing the staff of Moses is close

Thank you Jim for share all these precious infos !!!!

I really admire the precision and fantasy of north african craftsmen in edged weapon,
they are not greedy with metals-silver:
the koummya per example weighs more than 2,6 pounds !!
( with this weight, sure more a decorative piece than for real use !! )

Kind regards
