A Caucasian Kubachi kindjal dagger featuring a broad, double-edged steel blade with a prominent central fuller tapering to an acute point. The hilt is composed of polished white metal with a traditional waisted grip and two decorative raised rivets shaped like stylized rosettes. A faint, illegible inscription or maker mark, possibly in Arabic or a regional script, is visible on one side of the blade near the hilt.
