Lohar Afghanistan Sickle Ax Battle Daas

Description

Folding sickle lokhar.
Afghanistan.
Mid-twentieth century.
The blade of steel, has on both sides a simple pattern, made by the all-copper alloy method.
Handle with brass and bone pads and pommel of dark wood.
Did not know whether lohar combat weapons.
At least there are no images, photographs, engravings or drawings confirming military purpose.
His direct appointment is also not known for certain.
Someone considers lohar as agricultural, someone is a household, and someone as a universal utilitarian tool.
There is even a version (in my opinion, not rich) that lohar is meant for chipping ice on high mountain passes.
However, many Afghans moved this ax with them. After reaching a certain age, a person had to make himself lohar, choosing patches and patterns for his taste
