Handmade Omani Silver Khanjar

The khanjar is the traditional dagger of Oman. It is similar to the Yemeni jambiya. The khanjar is curved and sharpened on both edges. It is carried in a sheath decorated in silver, on a belt similarly decorated in silver filigree. A khanjar appears on the flag of Oman, as part of the national emblem of Oman. This Khanjar is estimated to be over 75 years old and in good shape. It has a very delicate design work. This was mounted in a damaged frame so it has been removed from the frame for sale purposes
