It is unclear whether the blade was originally fitted with a conventional khanjarli hilt or whether this parrot-headed hilt was a later replacement (stylistically the grip and pommel appear to be 19th century) or whether the dagger was originally designed this way, in which case the whole piece should be dated to the 19th century. reference term-106400 adlib-term-106400 3e80c102-1483-3c39-b2f4-67e333d653d8 18th Century reference term-126223 adlib-term-126223 152dd0e7-92aa-3117-b8f0-f667f1b8b81e literal India India country South India Blade Length cm 27 Overall Length cm 36 Weight g 346 reference term-109648 adlib-term-109648 81e9054e-fe90-3431-8bf2-645c7c671530 dagger object name reference term-126218 adlib-term-126218 5c8f101c-7368-3b5a-a61d-702fe0e8b92d Indian weapons category khanjarli history note From Ganjam.
