Surya Rutten

A South Indian dagger - Possibly from Kerala, 19th century

The silver handle is figuring a Makara (legendary sea-creature of the Hindu and Buddhist mythology) head. 
The eyes are made of 2 red gems and of the top of the head, there is another bigger gem.
The specific shape of the blade makes me think it could be from Kerala region in Southern India. 
Scabbard made of wood covered with fabric and silver. 

Overall length 36cm
Length without scabbard 31cm
Length of the blade 20cm
Weight 450gr
Weight of the dagger without Scabbard 266gr
