Dagger (Jambiya)
The Dagger (Jambiya) has a curved, single-edged blade with a pointed tip. The blade is made of metal, likely steel, and features a darker patina towards the tip. A decorative inlay of pink gemstones or enamel is set into the base of the handle. The handle is shaped like a horse's head and made of light-colored material, possibly ivory or bone. The horse's head has a bridle across its forehead. A thin metal band secures the handle to the blade. The dagger is set against a plain gray background.
