Still Life With Arabian Dagger

Still Life with Arabian Dagger

Bring Arabian Nights flare to your home with this lush still life in warm red and orange tones. You can almost smell the sweet fine Eastern scent from the incense burner and mouthwatering smell of Arabic coffee that is served abundantly to the guests in the Middle East.
The khanjar (the dagger) is a symbol of manhood, power and authority, as well as a status symbol for the person wearing it.
