Description: | Curved, double-edged dagger (jambiya). Blade with median ridge and very small back. A brass decorated langet with floral designs just under the hilt is painted inside in orange. The hilt probably of black wood and crowned with a decorated brass pommel. The scabbard is brass and highly decorated with floral designs on both sides, and curved up at the bottom terminating in a button chape. A roped brass fillet covers the brazed joints of the two sides of the scabbard from the locket rings to chape. Damage to scabbard mouth and ring. Blade and scabbard uninscribed, but possibly owned by a Berber tribesman of the Alshuluh clan in southern Morocco.
