Code: AN29
A dharia from Arabia, sometimes erroneously referred to as a "Wahhabi jambiya" (an occidental collectors' term). Janbiyas (jambiyas) of this type were carried by Wahhabis.
This style is known as "Rashaq" and is contemporary to the Bani Shahr and Bani Malik tribes.
This is a very large example in excellent condition. The blade is long and thin with double fullers and traditional decoration.
