- Lot Description
Central Asia, Pakistan/northern India, Indo-Persian period, ca. mid 20th century CE. An ornate ceremonial example of a khanjar, a type of curved dagger used throughout the Middle East and central Asia. This beautiful knife has a steel blade and a nickel-brass hilt and sheath with silver wash. The blade has a curvy profile and a pointed tip. The ricasso is hand etched on both sides with some simple designs containing a horse head, wheat stalk, a palm tree, crescent moon, star, and an Arabic character. The hilt is a gorgeous filigree design with tightly coiled spirals and curving bands of nickel-brass with traces of silver. The scabbard is similarly constructed with dense filigree of coiled spirals and features large loops of the sides for suspending this magnificent piece from a belt. The hand etched blade likely personalized or symbolized the owner of this fine knife. Khanjars were proudly displayed in the belt as sign of wealth and protection. Size of blade: 8.625" L x 1.375" W (21.9 cm x 3.5 cm); size in sheath: 14" L x 3.5" W (35.6 cm x 8.9 cm); quality of silver: 8%
Provenance: ex-estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA acquired before 2000; ex-Andy Garcia collection
