Indo-Persian weapons from the Metropolitan Museum collection

What an effort! Well done!! It's interesting to see the range of quality - it's not all jewel studded, some appreciation of rare forms and good quality steel work as well.

Thanks Runjeet your right, the collection goes from exquisite, jewel encrusted examples to the most ordinary. There are many more items in the collection that have not been photographed, hopefully they will get around to that eventually. I am not sure if the Met has the largest collection of its kind in the world but I do not know of another one that comes close.
