Persian dagger with a scabbard featuring enameled floral decoration. Iran, dated on the scabbard: 1243 H./1826–27. 39 cm.

Part of the floral decoration is enameled on a white background, and another part on a blue background, creating an interesting contrast. The scabbard clasp bears a perfectly legible inscription, written in red on a yellow background, corresponding to the date 1243 H./1826–27 The double-edged blade, made of Persian Damascus steel, is slightly oxidized and bears no decoration.
