India - Large Sikh Inscribed Wootz bladed Pesh Kabz Dagger. Of huge proportions^ with Ivory Hilt. The blade is constructed of a dark Wootz blade known as Khorasan. These represent the finest Persian Wootz available and were highly prized. The T-Back blade carries a Sikh inscription which translates as follows: ""Sri Akaal Sahai"" (with God`s help)^ Baba Phula Singh (name of the highly venerated Sikh Akali Warrior)^ 1823. We have received the following statement from our vendor: Akali Phula Singh was a great warrior who served with Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Please search his name on the internet for a detailed history of his achievements. As the leader of the Akali sect of Warrior Sikhs I am convinced that following his death the inscription is symbolic and a veneration by one of his followers. I would date this dagger at about mid-19th c. Probably a replacement scabbard at some point in time as this appears to be later given the end chape fitting and style and the fabric utilised.

AN IMPORTANT IVORY OKIMONO FIGURE GROUP depicting six male and two female figures climbing on a giant conch shell with a dragon emerging from the opening, old collection labels underneath, signed Uyemura or Ueki, late Edo/Meiji, 5.5"" high This superb ivory carving was originally owned by Michael Tomkinson, who was one of the key Victorian collectors of Japanese art.

However, it may also depict the spectre of `Shusse-bora`, the story of giant conch shells who live for three thousand years before being transformed into dragons. The figures climbing on the shell may be yamabushi (Shugendo practitioners) who are trying to capture some of the flesh in the hope of attaining long life.
