I hate to disagree with Ward, but it seems to me that there are 2 styles: silver fittings are Caucasian ( Circassian?) whereas the throat is much newer and obviously Arabian.
We absolutely need to see the rest. |

Do I see a rudimentary yelman?
Close-up of the inscription? Is the handle of fixed width throughout or is it widening toward the base? |
