專家說明

For a brief note on the rare decoration of this sword hilt and for a similarly decorated a dagger hilt and flywhisk handle in the sale, see lots 80 and 82. The single-edged curved watered-steel blade has a fuller on both sides just below the rear edge. Inlaid in gold with an Arabic inscription from the Qur’an, the blade also bears a gold parasol (chhatri) which is a symbol of imperial ownership (Beijing 2018, p.183).
