WEAPONS
The long iron blade of the yatagan is slightly curved, single-edged and ends in a point. On the opposite side of the edge, as on both sides, it is run by two concave lines. Towards the side of the grip it has a slightly embossed diamond shaped decoration with spirals and on the other, a small round seal with ancient Arabic script. The grip consists of two white bone sections, nailed to the end of the blade with metal nails. The bone of one is broken and missing its protruding end. The intermediate plates of the grip and the scabbard are not preserved.
