A fine late 19th Century, classical version of the Arab Jambiya (the Arabic word for a dagger mounted on the hip). 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. The hilt is cut from Rhino horn and mounted with a silver panel on its front face. The scabbard is “L” shaped covered with leather and embroidered with dense pattern of silver and gold strips. All scabbard fittings are chased silver, covered with a thin gold foil. The belt attachment is made of complicate arrangements of four heavy silver rings and twisted silver wire. It comes with the original fabric belt with a silver buckle.
