Yemenite Jambiya Dagger with Filigree and Granulation - PF.0313, Origin: Yemen, Circa: 19 th Century AD, Dimensions: 11.5" (29.2cm) high, Collection: Islamic, Style: Yemenite, Medium: Silver, Wood. In the tombs of ancient kings--in Mycenae, in Egypt, and Ur--magnificent daggers have been found which speak of the worldly power and status of their owners. This splendid silver weapon from the Arabian peninsula follows in that same tradition. Undoubtedly, the person who once wore it was an individual of importance.
