DESCRIPTION: Beautiful Caucasian/Cossack dress with kindjal, belt and breast cartridges (19/20th century). This was a traditional dress of people of Caucasus, usually associated with Circassians ("Circassian coat"), but also worn by Chechens and other nations of the region. The Cossacks liked the dress so much, that they adopted it as their own. Consequently, the Caucasian dress became a military uniform of Cossack regiments. Many Russian officers and court officials also proudly wore Caucasian dress. Members of the tsar family proudly posed to photographs wearing Caucasian dress. Paradoxically, Circassians, who gave the name to the coat, were forced to flee the Caucasus as a result of the Russian invasion and a consequent occupation, and today live mainly in the Middle East (the king of Jordan has Circassian body guards, still wearing their national dress!). This particular coat was most likely manufactured in the early 20th century. The fabric is wool over cotton. There are twelve beautiful silver/wood breast cartridges (two cartridge pockets are empty). They have beautiful silver niello caps. The kindjal belt is made of natural color high quality leather with elaborately decorated silver niello fittings. The belt was an essential part of the Caucasian dress. The pistols and kindjals were usually attached to the belt in the society where every man was a warrior. Similar style belts were manufactured and used in both, Chechnia and Dagestan. This type of belt was also used by Russian Cossacks. The dress comes complete with a beautiful 19th century silver kindjal with elaborate silver niello decoration. CONDITION: Fine. The fabric of the coat is clean and well preserved. The belt's leather is still soft and flexible. The silver fittings of the belt and cartridges are well preserved. The kindjal is in fine condition as well. The blade shows some light patina, which should clean easily. The scabbard has a small crack and dent in its upper/front part (please, see pictures). Very attractive, all original Caucasian set! (Ref. "Chechen Arms" , by Isa Askhabov, pp.164-171, and in "Les Armes Cosaques et Caucasiennes" by Iaroslav Lebedynsky, p.114, also in "Islamic Weapons. Maghrib to Moghul" , by Anthony C. Tirri, p.177). |
