Yemen Jambiya for comment

[Battara]

Greetings.

Yes this is out of my usual field, but I got this jambiya from Auctions Imperial recently. This is what I surmise so far:

1. It is possibly an Assib style jambiya.

2. This is a rare example.

3. It is from Asir in the northwest region of Yemen.

(These statements are based on Artzi's descriptions of 2 similar examples.)

4. Based on the filigree work, my guess is that this is from the early 20th century.


I have been looking for a good and complete example of this for many years.


What are your thoughts and insights on this piece? (Zukran in advance!)
