| - A dagger [<i>peshkabz</i>] with a watered steel blade and a grey nephrite jade hilt set with rubies together with a silk covered wooden sheath, with metal mounts set with rubies, Mughal, India, c. 1700 (en)
- This dagger was made within the Mughal empire in the 18th century. The slightly recurved, double-edged, watered steel blade has a central ridge and is set into a pale grey nephrite hilt in the form of a pistol grip, with a scroll cross-guard that has been inset with four large and four small, round ruby cabochons. Both ends of the hilt are decorated with flowers and leaves, carved in low relief and there is a round ruby cabochon set into the underside of the hilt at the pommel which has a natural fracture on the left side.
The sheath is of wooden construction with a red-silk covering which is now faded. At either end there are gilt metal mounts that bear embossed designs that are closely similar to those on the jade hilt and they are set with thirteen of fourteen ruby cabochons, with one missing. There is a small, gilt metal loop attached to one edge, near the opening. The dagger had been on loan to the museum from about 1880 from Major-General Lumley Holland and was bought in 1955 from the executor of his widow. (en)
