Tibetan silver dagger

A short dagger is a blade that gradually narrows to an acute point. It is still worn as part of a Tibetan man's attire up to today, usually in the form of a simple utility knife with a soft wooden sheath, but some of them were works of art such as this one. There are customarily worn horizontally in front of the belly, rolled into the traditional garb, unseen, or separately carried on the left side, rolled in fabric with the pommel exposed.
