£7600.00£6500.00

A high‑quality Moroccan Koummya dagger of ceremonial grade, featuring silver hilt and scabbard mounts decorated with traditional repoussé work and set with multiple garnet cabochons. The characteristic flared “winged” pommel and elegant curved profile mark this as a classic example of the Fez/Marrakech workshop style.

The curved steel blade bears Maghrebi Arabic script engraving, likely a devotional or blessing formula, and remains in clean condition with a bright surface. The scabbard is fully silver‑clad, decorated with chased geometric motifs and fitted with matching garnet stones, tapering to a finely worked silver terminal.

Overall length approximately 261 mm (10"1/2 in) Approx

A well‑preserved and visually striking example of a traditional North African dagger, suitable for collectors of Islamic arms, ethnographic weaponry, or decorative silver work.
