"Pitch-Qabz" from Bukhara - Uzbekistan
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 ?? à + Dom |
