Koftgari decorative dagger with jade stone/crystal & gold work

A decorative dagger made of damascus ( an iron alloy) with a beautifully carved case. The koftgari work on the case speaks volumes of craftsmanship, a rare and dying art. The head of the semi precious stone jade adding color to the piece. A blend of two unusual craftforms, a truly collector's delight.
