The lot features two Moroccan Jambiya silver mounted daggers, one from the mid-1800’s and the other from the early-1900’s. A jambiya, also known as a shibriyeh in the Levant, is a specific type of dagger with a short curved blade with a medial ridge that originated from Yemen that have spread throughout the Middle East, the Arab world and parts of Southeast Asia. Each region has its own differences in the curvature of the blade; the Jordanian shibriyeh is typically not curved unlike the Yemeni jambiya. The jambiya handle often tells of the social status of the man who wears it. The first early example from the 19th-century example shows a solid wood handle with intricate silver mountings with forged blade having a ridge down the center and a fine silver mounted sheath. The other early-1900’s example also shows a solid wood one piece handle with flower stamping on the blade, a heavy silver mounted sheath and silver mountings on the handle. One example is 16-inches long in sheath and the other 16.5-inches long in sheath.
