Question about a motif.

The scabbard is Ottoman Iraqi. I wonder if the gemstones were added later, in Iraq...

I suspect scabbard and gemstones were added together in Turkey.

Persians had their own calendar, 'Jalali'.
If this is a Jalali date; 1250 would be 1872.
Best wishes

In post 20 above there is an interesting figure on the reverse side of the hilt to the one with the two peri. Does anyone know what that figure is representing?

Hi Ian ,
Maybe a prince?
Or the owner's portrait?
One can only speculate there.

Hi Kurt,

Is there anything about the dress of the individual that might help with identification of the style and period?

Ian.
