Oh, you are right. The text is more like Arabic

not burmese one.

I agree with you that the blade has long upwarding hilt with small round pommel. They are somewhat similar to Siam's. But many dressing components (skirt, chinese shoes) just not right.

Hi Puff. I wonder if this drawing was made by an Arab artist (non-SEA, in any event). That would explain the writing and possible combination of Burmese dress with a Siamese sword.
