Description: | Indian swordstick, Gupti. The steel “stick” is decorated with silver scrolls in koftgari work, and it unscrews to reveal a long slender blade. The gilt brass handle is chased with flowering foliage, and terminates with a stylised lion’s head pommel. Identical work is commonly found on the eponymous “Bhuj”.
