I offer this Persian Jambiya for sale. The handle is made of white metal, probably a silver alloy and richly decorated with embossed and engraved Zoroastrianistic motifs. On the pommel you can see Faravahar, a typical symbol of this religion but also for the Iran. On the Grip is a man intaracting with a winged animal and two men in a conversation. The Blade seems to be older than the handle and is made of Sham damascus with a low contrast. I would guess it was made in the first half of the 19th century and the handle was added in the early 20th century.

Condition: Blade with signs age and no scabbard, overall good, please look at the pictures.

Dimensions: total 35 cm / 13.8 ''; blade 23 cm / 9.1 ''

Free international shipping with DHL from Germany.

Price: 400€
