Bejeweled Moghul Kard Dagger

Dated: circa 1690

Culture: Indian, Moghul

Medium: Burma rubies, white jade, gold and Damascus steel

Measurements: 11 1/4” length. Blade: 7” length

This 17th-century Moghul knife, known as a kard, boasts an exquisite white jade handle covered with rare Burma rubies and engraved gold. The pommel features a large cabochon Burma ruby set in gold, and a fine Damascus blade.

An elegant knife such as this would have likely been commissioned for a high-ranking official or nobleman in the Moghul Empire, and would have been worn as part of his formal attire.

Sidenotes:

The Moghul Empire was the dominant power in the Indian subcontinent between the mid-16th century and the early 18th century. Founded in 1526, the empire officially survived until 1858, when the last remnant of the empire was absorbed into the British Raj. The Moghul artistic tradition was eclectic, borrowing from the European Renaissance as well as from Persian and Indian sources.

The Moghul painters, architects, and designers derived individual motifs and certain naturalistic effects from Renaissance and Mannerist design, but their basic structuring principle was derived from Indian and Persian traditions. Hailing from a culture known for resplendent artistry, this knife successfully elevates weapons craftsmanship to a brilliant art form.

So we’re listening to music and up next was a LOTR play along midi file for my clarinet students…

Presentation Sabre with Scabbard

Dated: 1846

Maker: unknown

Place of Origin: Austria

Medium: steel, wood, turquoises, silver and gold, embossed, engraved and etched

Measurements: overall length: 93.5 cm. Weight: 0.76 kg, without scabbard

Hallmark: Vienna’s mark and the year of 1846

This exotic silver-mounted sabre belonged to Anatole Demidoff, Prince of San Donato in Florence. It is depicted in an (unfinished) equestrian portrait of him by Karl Briullov (1799-1852), begun in 1828, and now in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence. Although seemingly entirely made of silver in Bruillov’s portrait, it appears to have been at least partly-gilded; traces of the precious metal still in fact remain, but most has vanished, perhaps due to over-cleaning during its “working” lifetime.

Despite its singularly Ottoman style, the hilt of the sword bears an (unidentified) Austrian silversmith’s mark and all the mounts are struck with the standard Austrian mark for silver, indicating that it is almost certainly of Austrian manufacture. Swords in “Eastern” style were particularly fashionable throughout Europe at this time, being especially sought-after by dashing young cavalry officers and noblemen.

my high school principal had this book, and used it to great and terrible effect every assembly. one day, i stole it. hid it away. i thought i had gotten away with it, that nobody had seen me come or go, but the next time i passed by his office he called my name. i stopped. he stopped. he reached into a drawer of his desk and pulled out a second copy
