Persian Jarids

I've been busy with school and been staying out of the boards, so I am just making a short comment. These examples are Persian, I don't seen anything Indian in them, I have not heard of a Jarid, so I can not say anything about that, I'd go with early Qajar for the period as well. It is sad that they were sandpapered they way they were.

Jarid is a term used for a variety of thrown weapons that range in size from a large dart to a small spear. At least some were kept in a quiver and used by mounted combatants. I have read that they were also used in military sports, they were thrown at targets while on horseback. Here is a link to some more examples.
