Glazed Wood Framed ‘Jambiya With Silver Filigree Sheath. 19141. - 19141 A jambiya, also spelled janbiya, jambya, jambia and janbia (Arabic: janbīyah), is a specific type of dagger with a short curved blade with a medial ridge that originated from Hadhramaut and Yemen. It is most closely associated with the people of Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Somalia. Despite the cultural significance of the jambiya, it is still a weapon. Although people have used it in times of dispute, there are societal norms that must be followed in order to avoid defamation. The jambiya should only come out of its sheath in extreme cases of conflict. It is also commonly used in traditional events, such as dances. Like with some other curved knives, as the blade bends towards the opponent, the user need not angle the wrist, which makes it more comfortable as a stabbing weapon than straight-bladed knives. Its heavy blade enables the user to inflict deep wounds. The blade is 8cm long and the dagger is 15 ½ cm in total length. The Jambiya is encased in an ornate wall hang able frame/case and mounted on dark red velvet. Filigree is a delicate jewellery embellishment in which fine, pliable threads of precious metal are twisted or curled into a design and then soldered onto (or into) a piece of jewellery. This is a striking piece for the collector. UK postage and packaging is included in the sale of this item. 19141. £245.00 |
