- Lot Description
Near East, Turkey, Constantinople, Ottoman Empire, ca. 19th century CE. A gorgeous ceremonial dagger known as a khanjar with a steel blade and silver, nickel brass, and brass fittings and sheath. The khanjar dagger is used throughout the Middle East and has a characteristic "J" shaped sheath and curved blade, as seen here. The blade is set into a brass handle with a 60% to 90% silver overlay of embossed foliate designs. Additional pieces of nickel-bass are applied on top and incised with linear shapes. The pommel features a broad crescent shape. The sheath is similarly made of brass with silver overlays with foliate patterning. Two brass flanges extend from the sides with openings for suspending the sheath from a sash or belt. Size in sheath: 16.675" L x 2.675" W (42.4 cm x 6.8 cm); blade: 9" L x .9" W (22.9 cm x 2.3 cm); quality of silver: 60% to 93%
