Hi my Friends
let me introduce you a small marvel, a "Pitch-Qabz" from Bukhara - Uzbekistan
- 19th or 20th century
- beautiful shaped blade as a yataghan
- nice contrast for a very fine "johar"
- handle constituted of 2 plaques of mother of pearl with a thin line of small turquoise
- the back of the handle, is decorated in silver mount
- scabbard is constituted on a wood core, covered with silver, copper, leather, decorated with a small turquoise
ask myself that question;
- the fringed leather pouch that accompanies it, it's come from Bukhara ??
it looks too much like the work of Native North America ...
but the 2 bobbles, and bells silvered seems to be Asian
then I ask for, what do you think about this ??
