Item description from seller

Antique 1900's Jambiya Dagger. Highly decorated Silver Filigree Sheath & horn handle. Arabic Islamic. See images. [A Jambiya, also spelled janbiya, jambya, jambia and janbia, also known as a shibriyeh in the Levant, is a specific type of dagger with a short curved blade with a medial ridge that originated from the Hadhramaut Governorate region of Yemen. They have spread to other countries in the Middle East, to other countries in the Arab world, and to parts of South Asia and Southeast Asia. Men typically above the age of 14 wear it as an accessory to their clothing. A lovely example.
