As previously stated not Omani. This is a Dharia dagger from Saudi Arabia, Hijaz/Asir area. The style is called RASHAQ and the blade is BEYD type. Quality looks good and the silver not the thin pressed type seen on modern items of this style. Probably early 20th century. Bani Shahr and Bani Malik tribes.
Nice piece. |
