Vintage Indian Bidri dagger decorated overall with silver and gold-tone inlay in floral and scrolling foliate patterns on a blackened alloy ground, with a tiger head handle and a fitted sheath. The curved blade sits in a scabbard lined with red textile and finished with a silver-colored metal tip. Fine inlaid line work details the tiger head pommel. At roughly 6.5 inches long, this small piece suits display as a decorative collectible.
A Bidri style piece, likely early 1900s. The exact maker, workshop and age are unconfirmed.
Good vintage condition, with patina and light surface wear consistent with age. The blade shows rust spots and discoloration. Please review the photos closely.
