I posted this link in an earlier post by Jens.
I was going to just bring it up there but I think it should be a separate post as the pictures are to me just fantastic. This is the Museum where the Dagger that B.I. showed is located (Smithsonian in Washington DC)
When you click on the link:

http://www.asia.si.edu/collections/s...ObjectId=10925

To make it easier just click on this

http://www.asia.si.edu/collections/r...roup=Himalayan

and it will take you to the pictures.
so you can forget the rest of this post.
Just above the dagger is "South Asian & Himalayan Art" listed just click on that listing and you will go to another screen with the "Browse South Asian & Himalayan Art " is listed click on that and you will go to the section with 35 pages, with 12 pictures per page, of great art. There is is on page 16 the dagger that B.I. shows and on page 18 another dagger with a Jade hilt.
It will take you a while to tour all of the art work but it is a trip well worth your time.
