Default My last entry : Saudi dagger

Good day Gentlemen

let me have the pleasure to introduce you my last acquisition;
a Saudi dagger - "jambiya"
- age ; contempory
- origine ; oasis region in eastern Saudi Arabia
- denomination; "Doojaniyan"

the scabbard is covered with green velvet for a part,
and a silver plate decorated with many small silver filigree pieces

the belt attachment is made of an arrangement of silver rings (7),
and twisted silver wire, and with an chased silver locket

the hilt is in rhinoceros horn

a single curved blade double-edged and marked with a double midrib

comments and appreciations are welcomed
