Zafar Takieh
Full Description:
A 19th century Zafar Takieh of heavy construction. This one does not conceal a blade as many do, but is heavy enough to be used as a mace. The crutch pommel terminates in a detailed Makara head, with gaping mouth, up-curled snout and a ribbed chin. An applied cut and pierced collar sits on the tubular body, and the object is decorated with silver koftgari in floral patterns. A wide flat base.
