Note du spécialiste

Zoomorphically carved dagger hilts are well documented in 17th century Mughal Indian paintings. Several examples can be seen in the Windsor Padshahnameh, for example, dating from the first half of the 17th century (See Beach, Koch and Thackston, 1997, pp.36-37, pls.8-9, p.109, pl.45, pp.40-41, pls.10-11, p.47, pl.14, p.47, pl.19, pp.64-65, pls.23-24).
