The shape of the dagger refers to a Persian typology that dates back to the Arab jambiya, a dagger with a curved blade with two cuts. The blade is of a fine steel, wootz damascus, produced in a few locations between northern India and Persia with a complex casting process. The decoration that covers the handle and the case is made in enamel. The flowers depicted, with delicate pink and purple hues, are mostly lotus flowers that wind from golden racemes that compose arabesques. Particularly elegant is the composition placed on the two sides of the handle in which the lotus, with its characteristic pointed petals, rests on a stylized blue leaf. The scabbard bears an illegible signature and the date 1230 of the Muslim era in Arabic characters.
