Greetings
My latest acquisition, a thouma jambiya. A disappointment upon arrival, a hollow blade and the decoration on the sheath seems a bit cheap. There are signs of wear on the belt sheath and handle. I recently bought the interesting book by Steven Gracie and the examples in the book are of top quality, cannot be comparedto my copy. Because the thouma was usually worn by the religious elite in Jemen, i wonder if this is a tourist or the genuine piece of low quality. Comments welcome. Best regards Marc |
