- Lot Description
Middle East, Saudi Arabia, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A forged carbon steel dagger known as a jambiya (also jamb, jambya, and janbia) with a distinctively curved blade, presenting with silver embellishments as well as an attractive silver sheath with copper mounts. The wooden petaloid handle is adorned by beautiful decorative silverwork that hugs its upper contours as well as a ring-shaped silver collar just below it and over the upper end of the blade. The silver elements are all of high quality silver (84% to 88% silver) and painstakingly decorated with stylized geometric motifs. The silver sheath is also furnished with a ring/collar at its upper end to match that encircling the upper blade, gorgeous engraved decorative motifs throughout, two copper ring mounts suspended from jutting perforations, and a bulbed nodule at the tip. The generic term for this type of dagger is khanjar, though its designation as a jambiya is indicative of a khanjar made in either Yemen or Saudi Arabia. Size (w/sheath): 15" L x 2.5" W (38.1 cm x 6.4 cm); (dagger): 14.25" L x 2.5" W (36.2 cm x 6.4 cm); silver quality: 84% to 88% silver; total weight: 362.874 grams
Provenance: private San Francisco, California, USA collection, acquired 1970s to 2000s
