Dagger (Yatagan) with Sheath

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Dagger (Yatagan) with Sheath features a knife with a long, straight blade that tapers to a point. The blade appears to be made of metal with a silver or gray color and shows signs of wear. The top portion of the blade is covered with a light-colored wood or bone handle that has four small holes. To the right of the knife is a sheath, made of metal with an ornate design. The sheath is long and curved, tapering to a point at the bottom. A series of metal chains with small red beads are attached to the top of the sheath. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
