A silver-hilted finely watered-steel dagger (khyber) North India, 18th/ 19th Century

Item Details

Description

A silver-hilted finely watered-steel dagger (khyber)
North India, 18th/ 19th Century
the single-edged watered steel blade of tapering form with flattened spine, finely watered with kirk narduban or Jacob's ladder pattern, the silver hilt of cylindrical form with lion head pommel, a flower to the forehead, the grips with engraved foliate design, the wood scabbard clad in pink silk
60 cm. long
Footnotes:
The finely watered steel blade exhibits the sought after Kirk Narduban or Jacob's ladder pattern characterised by transversely oriented distortions of the pattern called 'steps'. Carrying such a blade would be of particular significance to a Muslim warrior who would see the ladder as a symbolic vehicle for entry into paradise should he fall in battle. For a further discussion on the pattern see Leo S. Figiel, On Damascus Steel, Atlantis, 1991, pp. 70-71.
