EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph showcases a Pesh-kabz, a traditional dagger from South Asia, along with its scabbard. The blade exhibits faint traces of watering, suggesting its historical use. The hilt, intricately crafted and possibly made of walrus ivory, adds to its aesthetic value. The lanyard stanchion is, however, missing. The inscription on the reverse of the tang provides a fascinating insight into the dagger's history. Captured during the Battle of Gujerat in the 2nd Sikh War (1848-1849), this dagger was taken from the chief in command of the Afghan Cavalry. It was then presented by Lieutenant Malcolm and his fellow officers to Colonel the Honourable Henry Dundas, who was commanding the Bombay Division of the Punjab at that time. The date of this significant event is recorded as 1848. The Pesh-kabz is an essential part of the rich cultural heritage of the people of South Asia. This dagger, with its intriguing history, stands as a testament to the various military conflicts that shaped the region's history. The absence of the lanyard stanchion does not detract from the dagger's historical significance, making it an intriguing artifact for collectors and historians alike.
