• Lot Description
  C. 1526 - 1857 AD. Mughal Empire. An iron knuckleduster comprising rectangular open grip with guard. A long wedge-shaped blade projects from one short end of the grip while a shorter spike extends from the other shorter end; three further small spikes protrude from one of the long ends of the grip. The short sides of the grip are decorated with gilding with incised geometric motifs and incised chevrons can also be observed on the iron of the main blade. The Mughal Empire was an early-modern empire in South Asia stretching from the Indus basin to northern Afghanistan, Kashmir, the highlands of Assam and Bangladesh to the Deccan plateau in south India. During its expansion the Mughal military used a variety of weapons including swords, spears, bows and arrows, cannons, muskets and flintlock blunderbusses as well as knuckledusters like this example. Superb condition; on a custom-made stand. Size: H:278mm / W:110mm ; 540g
