CATALOGUE NOTE
In the Caucasus, daggers such as this one were inseparable companions of Caucasian men and used for a variety of purposes, such as weapons, cork screws, and paper cutters, as well as dance accessories. 19th Century photographs of Caucasian men in native dress frequently include such daggers, which are attached to their belts in a diagonal manner.
