No.. No.. No... I like it
 It's just an argument about origin. You have a good point about Iraqi style niello, BUT: I think niello work on this dagger indicates it could be Turkish. Did Ottomans do niello as well? Most Iraqi/Kurdish jambiyas I saw look very different from this one. Most of them are curved and have rather simpler niello design without any silver chasing/carving. |
