Tatyana and Jim
thank you for your valuable comments  I was really afraid of being ridiculed if I had announced that this bag was well Uzbek, as well as the seller had indicated to me I don't believe obligatorily all sellers ...  thanks again for your assistance à + Dom |

Nice Buharan knife, Dom. and nice to have one completed with silver scabbard, stones and wootz blade. I also like Buharan knifes like this. Here's one with silver/niello handle and wootz blade, and also dated as of 19th C... the pouch is missing:-)

there are a few ethnographic images here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Prokudin-Gorsky
stunning images considering they were taken over 100 years ago Last edited by ALEX; 3rd May 2011 at 05:08 PM. |

Dom, the sword from what images I've found appears to be the standard Russian Sabre of the day, 1881-1908 pattern but the embellishments are WOW, it is part of a series of photos by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky and the sabre is seen from many different angles. The dress of the sabre appears to be in full gold and enamel dress as would be expected for an Emir. The series is available on the net, but not being on my home PC at present I do not have them available to post nor the link. Gav Last edited by freebooter; 20th June 2011 at 11:08 PM. |
