I agree with KUBUR in as far as it probably being of Indian manufacture. The shape IMHO is more like Saudi. Likely for tourist market but the blade is nice.

The generous use of turquoise reminds me of Elgood's comment in his book on Aravian weapons about Bukharan jewellers settling and working there.

Kubur,
Never seen one like it! The "kufic" style of the script and certain other features make me wonder if it is a european interpretation of a omani khanjar. Can you tell us anything more about it? Regards Richard |

Hi Richard,
It's a 'pure' Omani khanjar from the 19th c. Collected during the 19th c. and now at the MET in NY. I hope that this piece will be in the new catalog that they just published... Bets, Kubur |
