CARBINE
This carbine is extensively decorated. The barrel is engraved with a vine pattern and inlaid with brass. There is an ovoid maker's mark with Arabic script in silver on top of the barrel near the breech, appearing as part of the pattern. The barrel is also banded with three brass rings. There is a brass sight on the end of the barrel and a corresponding sight on the breech, which is peculiar since the barrel isn’t rifled and would have been a point-and-shoot weapon, not something with which one could aim carefully.
