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.
