About the Item
Large Indian gold damascened steel tegha sword.
Indian, c. 1850
Length 112cm, width 16cm, depth 10cm
This remarkable sword is a tegha, a large Indian sword designed to be used in a ceremonial manner. The curved blade of the sword features a bright edge down its whole length, with a double cutting edge down from its point to about one third of its length. The tooled steel of the faces of the blade is superbly damascened: gold has been inlaid into a host of abstracted forms, creating a visually rich artistic demonstration. The shaped handle is similarly damascened, while the blade features inscriptions in Devangari and Nasta’liq. The sword is a superb piece of Indian craftsmanship.

A Tabarzin, Indian saddle-axe from Bikaner, 19th century
Indian, 19th century
Measures: height 56cm, width 12.5cm, depth 4cm

The head of the axe is engraved with intricate floral motifs, the handle superbly decorated with an ornate chased gilt pattern along its length. Dense and beautiful floral scroll patterns line its length, and the base unscrews to reveal a stunning hidden dagger, that is approximately a third of the axe's length.

A remarkable item of military history...
