Pesh Kabz
ITEM # 0045
The Pesh Kabz traces its origins to the rugged landscapes of 17th century Persia and Central Asia. Its heavy blade was designed to penetrate armor and was used throughout much of the East after being introduced to India by the Mughals. It is characterized by a full-tang, single-edged, recurved blade with a T-shaped reinforced spine. The grips are typically secured with rivets and made from a variety of materials, including ivory, horn, wood and bone.
This larger-than-normal example is from South India and dates to the 19th century. It has a traditionally shaped blade, rosewood grips, steel bolsters and a parrot head shaped pommel. 18.5” overall. Very good condition. A small chip to one of the grips. No scabbard. A fine example of a South Indian Pesh.
