Title Sukhela with 16th century Venetian blade
Nationality Indian
Period c 1800
Sold

An unmarked blade, probably from Belluno, typical of the type that would have been carried in a clam shell hilt sword. These blades were exported via Goa to the Indian sub-continent and would have mounted up in their own hilts through succeeding centuries.

I am wholly delighted with the shako plate. [It] is a wee cracker. It is a real pleasure to have something combining both condition and quality in equal parts, and I simply could not be more pleased.
