Description: | Red velvet-covered wooden scabbard fitted with a gilt copper locket (top mount) chased with flowering foliage. On the back edge of the locket is a small pierced facetted knop intended to retain a fabric or leather loop which fits over the quillonand retains the sword in its scabbard. The decoration of the locket strongly suggests that this is product of the Indian city of Bhuj.
