Karud dagger with unusual chased scabbard
Hello dear members,
today I come with a massive karud dagger
I just acquired.
Afghan or north indian origin,
The hilt is made of bone or walrus ivory.
The silver scabbard mounts looks unusual to me:
Makes me think of Tibetan-bhutanese daggers or kappala . Or chinese origin.
So maybe all was made in eastern Afghanistan area close to China ?
Or in northern India ?
Or a later add for the scabard ??
