A very good Arab Jambiya dagger, late 19 C. from Oman, in the royal style known as Al-Bu-Said, or Saidi style. It has 7 inches curved and dual edge blade with a pronounced central rib. The hilt is rhino horn richly covered silver filigree pieces. The scabbard is “L” shaped covered with fabric and mounted with filigree silver locket and chape. The belt attachment is made of complicate arrangements of four silver rings and twisted silver wire. The total length is 12 inches. Very good condition. Minor losses to the fabric cover on the back of the scabbard.
