Good Moroccan Koumaya Dagger - 6647


The Moroccan version of the Arab Jambiya dagger is locally called Koumaya and characterized by a slender blade, usually dual edged at its lower half and single edge at the top. There is a big variety in the decoration styles and quality of the handles and scabbards. This one is of a better quality than average, with a good 9 inches blade and with a big horn grip with engraved silver fittings. The scabbard is made of very intricate engraved silver sheet on a brass basis. Total length 15 ½ inches. Very good condition. A small area of damage to the silver cover. A very good piece at an extremely attractive price.
