Description:
This Saudi Arabian ceremonial jambiya dagger is presented in its original sheath and features the official national emblem of the palm tree above crossed swords, confirming it was made for Saudi use or the Saudi market. The dagger follows the traditional curved jambiya form, a long-standing symbol of honor, heritage, and social status in Arabian culture. The sheath is richly adorned with silver or silver-tone metal, decorated with finely engraved geometric and floral motifs arranged in structured panels, with black leather visible beneath the metal covering. Multiple suspension rings and fittings indicate it was designed to be worn on a traditional belt. The black hilt, likely made of horn or a durable synthetic material, reflects the classic jambiya profile. Pieces of this type were commonly produced in the mid to late 20th century as ceremonial, dress, or presentation items, and today they are valued as decorative arms and cultural artifacts representing Saudi heritage.
