This is a dagger made from steel, agate and gold which preserve in Islamic Middle East gallery of Ashmolean Museum, in Oxford University has a watered steel blade, inlaid with gold, and a rare agate handle. It was likely made in Isfahan, a major centre of production for daggers at that time.The goldwork is signed by the craftsman Muhammad Hadi (1801 - 1820) and dated to the year 1230 of the Islamic calendar, corresponding to 1814-1815 AD, the Qajar Period (1779-1925).
