My first Koummya

I don't collect these Moroccan daggers, but have seen a few and quite like them. The first dagger is of a recognised type from a specific area in Morocco (can't remember which). My feeling is it is not a tourist object, but just a budget example, now in rough condition, made for a poorer local person. Hence the use of the glass decorative elements (some missing) rather than silver, for example.

A nice start to a collection.

Regards.
