This style of daggers with the “L” shaped scabbard is called Omani, as its originate from Oman. However it is spread as well as other Jambiya’s styles all over the Arabian Peninsula. It has a 7 inches curved and dual edge blade with a pronounced central rib. The hilt is carved from a solid piece of Rhino horn and decorated with elaborate silver filigree work. The scabbard is covered with leather and belt attachment is made of a complicate arrangements of SEVEN silver rings and twisted silver wire. Scabbard mouth is silver with filigree work and the scabbard tip is beautiful pierced silver work. Very good condition.
