What is this? Perhaps a Shibriya?
Greetings,
This Middle Eastern Dagger just finished on ePrey. It is made of silver and leather. Would this be a shibriya? |

Ah, thank you. I thought the safra had a specific form. However this makes sense.

Shafra.

Salaams Battara ~ What a good example that is... I like the work showing the mulberry fruit and fluted design to the hilt and pommel and the very interesting design to the leather. I see plenty of straight blades but not a lot of the curve and curve and a half... perhaps that is an Indian influence? Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |
