A Ram's Head Shamshir From Lucknow


The shamshir's name comes from the radical curve of its blade, translating to 'lion's claw' or 'lion's tail.' The blade itself is forged from wootz steel; the carbon deposits within the iron ingots forming intricate wave-like patterns known as 'damascus.' A modern scabbard of tooled black leather, attached with shell-shaped brackets for suspension, accompanies the sword.
