Indo-Persian Koftgari Damascus Steel Dagger with Zoomorphic Hilt

This exquisite Indo-Persian dagger features extensive Koftgari enrichment (gold inlay or overlay) across its entirety. The most striking feature is the zoomorphic hilt, meticulously crafted in the form of a kneeling antelope or gazelle, with long upright horns protruding from the pommel. The blade is constructed of dark, high-contrast wootz or Damascus steel, exhibiting a double-edged profile with a central fuller and a slightly curved, reinforced tip. The gold-work follows a traditional 'teh-nishan' style, covering the hilt, guard, and scabbard in dense, geometric diamond latticework filled with floral motifs. The scabbard is constructed of a matching metal base, also fully decorated in gold, with a curved chape. The craftsmanship is highly refined, indicative of 19th-century Mughal or Sikh influence. Condition appears remarkably well-preserved with minimal losses to the gold wire and a light, healthy patina on the exposed steel. No major structural damage or repairs are visible, and the detail on the animal's face and hooves suggests a high level of artisanal skill.
