Dagger (Choora) with Sheath. The dagger has a curved, black handle top with small light spots. The middle part of the handle is yellow with four black floral designs. The bottom part of the handle is wrapped with dark thread. The blade is metallic with a sharp point and a straight edge that curves slightly at the end. A short, thin metal piece protrudes from the back of the blade near the handle. To the right of the dagger is a black sheath with a stitched seam down the center. The sheath is made of leather or a similar material. The background is a plain beige color.
