Middle east & caucasus

This collection spans the arms of the Caucasus and the wider Middle East: Georgian shashka-style swords forged with crucible steel blades, the curved jambiya and khanjar daggers of Yemen and Oman mounted in silver, and the fine inlaid silverwork of Jezzine, Lebanon — a workshop tradition still recognised today.

Look for the regional variations in hilt shape and scabbard decoration: Yemeni Thouma and Assib jambiyas differ markedly from an Omani kattara or a Levantine khanjar, each tied to the dress and status of its wearer.
