Sword and scabbard
RCIN 11413
The rulers of Khairpur were great collectors of blades and sent agents to obtain them from Iran. These blades would then be fitted with new hilts such as in this example. The incised decoration, the tassel and the multifaceted rubies and diamonds found on this dagger are indicative of European craftsmanship.
