Though it originated in western Anatolia, its form was quickly adopted across the Balkans, including in Serbia, where it developed regional traits in craftsmanship, materials, and decoration. Serbian variants often retained the core Ottoman profile but introduced local touches, particularly in the hilt and ornamentation".
