I tossed a bid on a recent auction and ended up buying. I like it, it's very nice to my eyes. Hoping someone can assist with the translation. Many thanks.

what style is this it is one I have not seen before and seems unusual. Did it serve a purpose ? Was it artistic? Was it done at time of forging or later?
Go ahead and mark this one SOLD. Thanks for all comments and interest. I believe there is a sticky on how to make a donation to the board which I will do.
