A Pair of Indian Brass Sword Handles with Animal Motif and Floral Engravings.
The handles of this Indian brass sword pair feature intricately detailed engravings of animals. At the top of each handle, the animal figures are shaped in such a way that their heads form the uppermost part of the design, and their bodies extend down the handle. One handle depicts a large animal head, likely a lion or similar beast, with open jaws and an intense expression. The animal's body curves and twists, with engraved details such as claws and tail-like features that contribute to the dynamic flow of the design. These animals are seamlessly integrated into the ornate floral motifs that cover the handles, highlighting the fusion of animal symbolism with the decorative artistry of the sword's craftsmanship.
