While I am generally attracted to "bling" decorated ethnographic weapons, this simple kard dagger really caught my eye in Baltimore at the auction. The dagger is Indo-Persian and likely 19th century or perhaps a little earlier. The dagger is from two pieces of wootz steel, one making the blade and the other the hilt. The contrast of the wootz is quite dramatic.
I suspect the scabbard is later. I may be rethinking my ideas about "blingy" weapons! Dimensions: Overall 11.5in. Blade: 7.25in. Comments and opinions welcomed. |
