A well crafted and ornate Wahabi Sword from Saudi Arabia. This is made with a coin silver alloy. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, the surface has a foliate embossing with beaded trim pieces. Also some filigree floret appliques,and extremely fine granulation. The sword fits nicely into the scabbard. This would look great with a little buffing from a polishing cloth. The sword is 28" long and 3.25" at it's widest point. The belt it is attached to is Naugahyde, which was popular in the 1950's and 1960's.

Throughout the Islamic world, it is a tradition to greet road-weary travelers and guests with a refreshing sprinkle of rosewater or orange blossom water. This charming blue Moroccan glass and embossed white brass bottle was made for this purpose, although I have seen people buy them for use as incense burners. Standing nearly 8 1/2" tall and measuring 2.75 " across, this unique piece is filled with astounding charm. The bottle weighs 1/2 pound before packing.
