On sale is a very rare "Mongolian Damascene Scythe with Sheath" circa 1,400A.D. This exquisite item is from our private collection and its original provenance is from Syria. Featured is a carbon steel, decorated blade with a carved wooden handle and sheath. Likely crafted by seized Syrian artisans during the Timur Mongol invasion of Aleppo and Damascus, this wonderful ceremonial-like scythe or knife was used in various applications. The top serrated blade tapers down to a curved point and flows back in a crescent style sickle. The ancient worn blade surface is decorated with waving linear motifs and has four perforations used for leather threading attachment. This extremely rare, museum worthy historical blade is in superb condition.
