MESFIOUA Culture, High Atlas, Morocco.
MESFIOUA Culture, High Atlas, Morocco. Iron, silver, yellow copper, wood, aged patina. Two antique, slightly curved “Koumya” daggers with sheaths featuring “peacock’s tail” pommels. The koumya is much more than a simple dagger; it is a true symbol of identity and social status in Morocco—not merely a weapon but also an accessory in men’s attire. Lengths: 39 cm and 40.5 cm. (One of the daggers has its blade stuck in the sheath.)
