Photograph of three daggers, shown in their scabbards, and photographed from above. The daggers all have jade handles. The handles and scabbards are decorated with designs and precious stones. The dagger on the far right exists in the Royal Collection, RCIN 11508.
It is likely the daggers are all of Indian origin.
