The intricate details and lifelike representation of this piece make it a true masterpiece. The handle, now housed in the prestigious British Museum, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India and its historical significance during that era. Its vibrant colors and meticulous carvings transport us back to a time when daggers were not only weapons but also symbols of power and status.
