Bidspirit auction | A Mughal Jade Horse-Head Dagger

A Mughal Jade Horse-Head Dagger Handle. Carved from pale green jade, this sculptural handle is formed as the head and elongated neck of a horse, shown with a gently modelled muzzle, rounded eyes, and a flowing mane rendered in shallow relief. The neck tapers smoothly to a bifurcated terminal, carved with leaf-like motifs, indicating its function as a handle element rather than a standalone figure. H: Approximately 12.8cm Provenance: Private collection from a distinguished British gentleman.
