Maybe it has something to do with the angel Peri?

Absolutely stunning khanjar. One of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
It seems to have a date and an inscription. Clearer photos of the writings may help. Will send the photos to a friend of mine who may know more. Last edited by mariusgmioc; 1st February 2021 at 10:26 PM. |

Could it be Krishna suckling at Putana' s breast? It is a Hindu tradition, and im not sure if that fits this weapon. However, the motif seems to fit.

Possible, too.
I have a link to a site of a german villa. There you can find a statue of a Peri angel which also fits your motif. http://eichinger.ch/eichifamilyhom/R...ermesVilla.htm |

Indeed they appear to be Peri, but what about the two inscriptions?
It may be they shed more light on the subject. |
