Kindjal(qama)s produced for dancing?

"Dancing" kindjals were specifically created for exotic national ensembles, perhaps no earlier than 1930s.
Up until then, genuine village dances were conducted with real things. Georgians were poor enough to afford a trinket used only occasionally and for entertainment purposes.

And, BTW, the one shown here is a VERY modern creation. It will become an antique not earlier than 100 years from now:-)))))
