Focile gun artistically engraved and damascened on the stock, probably of Ethiopian origin. Near the codette, on the case, the Ethiopian crown is carved, while on the upper side there are three gold plaques with indecipherable inscriptions, perhaps in kufic characters. All carvings are made with a masterful decorative sense, both in the precious hardwood of the handle and in the top of the stock.
