Description: | Jambiya or curved bladed dagger. The blade of watered steel with central ridge. Dirty. Hilt and sheath of ebony with floral designs carved in relief. Small crack on the part of the hilt near the blade. Carved date in the middle of the hilt (236), probably a mistake for 1236. On the other side of the hilt the name of the maker carved in the same position (Rahim). The scabbard en suite but with undecorated centre. Part broken away (and missing?) at the chape.
