Description: | Scabbard for Caucasian kindjal, probably owned by Lieutenant-General Sir Archdale Wilson (1803-68). The scabbard is wood with a white metal top locket, to the reverse face of which is a secured ring, the whole covered with mid-brown animal (goat or donkey) skin sewn irregularly down the reverse face. There are signs that a small pointed chape was once fitted. The outline follows that of the blade very closely. The top locket simply strenghtens the throat and provides a mount for a suspension ring.
