Very nice pictures! The decoration motif on the scabbard fittings does not look Persian, it looks more like Ottoman/Turkish work to me, 19th Century in my opinion. Makes it even more interesting:-) The tip is obviously missing and was shortened as a repair(?). Very nice court/ceremonial dagger indeed. Agree with Ariel - too beautiful for combat purposes:-)

No, not Ottoman. They had better taste
 The one from Artzi's collection ( subsequently published by Khorasani) shows couples engaging in sexual intercourse in different positions and another naked woman watching them and an inscription " You stabbed me hard 1000 times, but I would not die unless you stab me with this blade" ( I changed the Khorasani's translation a bit to make it readable). Khorasani then explained that it was likely a gift to a man from his loving wife and the depiction of another woman was just to excite his sexual fantasy. Ottomans used ornaments of carnations and tulips. |
