Description

A RARE FALCHION WITH WALRUS GRIPS. Iran, 18th c. Length (blade) 56.5 cm, length (total) 70.5 cm. Single-edged steel blade with ornamental groove and gold damascened inscriptions. Gilt silver crossguard with floral decoration. Finely carved walrus grips with four cartouches with Persian inscriptions and depicting a lion and a bull on one side and a woman with a sword on the other. Two of the cartouches consisting of the Basmala and the Quran surah 48.1. The other two bearing a dedication of the “most devoted admirer Ahmad al-Husayni” to an Ottoman grand vizier, whose name has been erased. The falchion was most likely presented as a diplomatic gift to an Ottoman pasha. --------------- SELTENES FALCHION MIT WALROSSGRIFF. Iran, 18. Jh. L (Klinge) 56,5 cm, L (total) 70,5 cm. Einschneidige Stahlklinge mit ornamental ausgeführter Hohlkehle und goldtauschierten Inschriften. Vergoldete Silberparierstange mit floralem, getriebenem Dekor und knospenformigen Knäufen. Die Walross-Griffschalen sind äusserst fein in Relief beschnitzt. Auf der einen Seite des Knaufes schlägt ein Löwe einen Stier, auf der anderen schwingt eine barbusige Frau ein Schwert über ihrem Kopf. Das Heft ist in vier Kartuschen mit feiner persischer Kalligraphie versehen, wovon zwei aus der Basmala und der Koran Sure 48,1 bestehen. Die beiden anderen beinhalten eine Widmung für einen osmanischen Grosswesir, dessen Name getilgt wurde, vom "ergebensten Verehrer Ahmad al-Husayni" und lassen den Schluss zu, dass das Falchion ein Diplomatengeschenk gewesen sein könnte.
