Arabic Jambiya

Dagger of Arab descent of the Jambiya type. The grip of the dagger is masterfully decorated with embossed geometric and floral motifs, while the blade, characteristically curved, ends in a very sharp tip. Richer decoration is found on the metal sheath, with superimposed, particularly dense geometric representations. Of interest are the three integrated rings on each side, which were used to secure the weapon, as well as the special sockets that held precious stones.
