Dagger (V7)

A Weapon

This is a katar, an Indian punch weapon. It was developed by the Maratha Empire, a vast Hindu state that covered much of north-central India for 150 years. A mix of metals and materials was often used in katar manufacture and this example is no exception, with the sheath being of leather-covered wood, painted in gilt designs, and the wrist guards and double bar-grip made of gilded cast brass. The high relief decoration and perforation on this weapon dates it to the 17th or 18th century but the katar was in such widespread use it is impossible to say exactly where in India it might have come from.
