The hilt is also of steel, with a beaked pommel carved as a stylised parrot’s head with eyes and a detailed beak, a plain tubular grip, slightly curved, and a stepped section at the blade with crenelations and a roped band. The blade is polished bright with areas of patination from its earlier corrosion, the hilt in untouched patinated condition, showing that it was originally decorated with floral ornament in silver koftgari O.131-1879 1 accession number O.131-1879 159899 priref 159899 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/159899 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/159899 inscribed 131 tag reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Given by Robert Taylor, MA reference agent-180016 adlib-agent-180016 de4194d2-ab82-3bf8-95cd-a266949bffea Taylor, Robert, MA 1879 1879 1879 given Entry date: 1879-02-10 1600 1600 CE 1600 circa 1600 1700 1 1700 CE 1700 1700 maker reference agent-149652 adlib-agent-149652 0d4f90dc-b166-3d4b-b0db-25f4118b6e98 Unknown Compare O.144-1879 from this collection and comments about the type there.
