The lot features two fabulous 17th-century to 18th-century South Indian Khanjarli Dagger from Vizianagram with bone (tusk i.v.o.r.y.) handle on forged iron. The lot shows two truly fine examples of Indian daggers known as Khanjarli which are comprised of forged iron short-recurved blade with distinctively shaped hilt typically set with elephant tusk or bone. The Khanjarli is thought to have evolved from the Chillanum. One example shows heavy forged dual fuller on both sides of the curved blade with etched designs in the blade with forged hand guard and six-pieces of tusk bone with fine work. The other example four thick pieces of tusk bone with unique forged guard and ricasso with a forged curved blade. At the end of the hand guard appears to be some sort of snake head effigy. The blade shows good condition overall with some wear present from its age and use over the years, but no signs of major damage or wear is noted. The daggers measures 12 3/4" L x 3 1/4" W x 5/8" D and weighs 8 ounces. Similar in some ways to the 17th-century Mughal Indian Chilanum daggers.
