18th C. Mughal Lahori Style Tulwar

Status: Sold · Region: India · Type: Swords

An interesting and beatifully decorated Mughal sword, this tulwar is mounted with a large and well decorated blade showing hunting scenes of various animals from the pantheon of Mughal imagery. The handle is in the Lahori style with flowery quillons, and is decorated with gold damascene throughout. Overall it could use a light cleaning, and the blade possibly could be wootz but due to the etching designs, we've decided to allow it's next owner decide whether to clean the blade. Overall is 36, blade is 32.
