As a "quickie", end of 19, more likely first quarter of 20 century. Daghestani masters, likely from Vladikavkaz workshop ( purely statistically).
Closer pics will provide additional details, and I and other here will be glad to help. But the best way, - get Kirill Rivkin's book "Arms and Armor of Caucasus". |

Magnificent!
Magnificent!
Agree with Ariel, but my guess would be 19 century rather than early 20. Daghestan but also possibly Georgia. Can you take a close-up photo of the maker's mark? As Ariel suggested, maybe Rivkin's book on arms and armour of the Caucasus can give you more hints. PS: Love the fullering and the niello! Fantastic piece and in great condition. |
