19th Century Indian Mughal Khanjar Dagger With Gold Inlaid Panels, Serpentine Blade & Foliate Carved Jade Hilt. Sn 21035 - 21035
The Mughal Empire 1526-1857 was an early modern empire based in South Asia between the 16th and 19th centuries. For some two hundred years, the empire stretched from the outer fringes of the Indus River Basin in the west, northern Afghanistan in the northwest, and Kashmir in the north, to the highlands of present-day Assam and Bangladesh in the east, and the uplands of the Deccan Plateau in South India. This is an excellent original Khanjar dagger as carried by Indian Mughal empire warriors and noblemen (see page 353 of A Glossary Of The Construction Decoration & Use Of Arms & Armour by Stone where similar Khanjar daggers to ours are illustrated). This Khanjar has a heavy 10" serpentine double edged, fullered blade which is clean and sharp (15” overall). Both sides of the blade have inlaid gold panels. The hilt is typical pistol grip shaped solid Jade with carved foliate decoration. As is common, this khanjar is without scabbard. The price for this attractive historic piece includes UK delivery.
