The sultans emblem

The National emblem of Oman as it can be seen at Al Alam palace- the sultans palace in old muscat. In it you can see the surroundings reflected.

 

It consists of a khanjar dagger in a sheath that is superimposed upon two crossed swords. I assume that the crown above it indicated the soltan himself and as such wouldbe they royal emblem in combination.

You should watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background.
