Description
This curved decorative dagger is a striking example of handcrafted Koftgari art, where traditional metal inlay transforms a historic weapon form into a refined decorative object. The piece features a gracefully curved blade paired with an ornate hilt and matching sheath, both richly adorned with intricate Koftgari patterns. The sculpted handle, inspired by animal motifs, adds character and symbolism, while the detailed inlay work across the surface creates depth and visual rhythm without overwhelming the form. The overall composition feels balanced and deliberate, highlighting craftsmanship, proportion, and controlled ornamentation.
Created purely as a decorative artefact, this dagger is well suited for heritage-inspired interiors, curated collections, and display spaces that value traditional metal arts. It works beautifully in study rooms, libraries, display cabinets, or alongside other artisanal objects that celebrate history and handwork. The piece carries a quiet authority, reflecting the patience and precision of Koftgari craftsmanship, and stands as an object meant for appreciation, cultural storytelling, and visual presence rather than functional use.
