Strange Dagger Arabian?
Dear All,
Could you help me with this dagger, jambiya?
38cm long, with nice metal work for scabbard and handle
The blade is probably wootz
I don't know if it is a 19th or 18th century work.
It looks really old I don't think 20th c.
The only similar examples that I found are from South Arabia,
may be a kind of Dharia?
But the work is really nice and looks Ottoman...
The seller said Morocco...
And he had a lot of things from Syria too...
Thanks for your help
Regards
Kubur
