The steel blade is narrow, straight and double edged, with a slight full-length medial ridge. Attached to the forte by five rivets are crude reinforces, terminating in slightly onion shaped ends. The tang is thick and of square section, and retains fragments of the wooden lining of the lost grip, as well as spots of vermillion paint.

By elimination assigned O.23.1879, called on Taylor’s list a pata blade, Cambridge 1879: no. 13; as it retains a tang, this cannot be correct. However all the other detached blades also have their tangs. reference term-106602 adlib-term-106602 bbb4c00f-eefa-3d64-9441-7a75aa07736e 16th Century reference term-126223 adlib-term-126223 152dd0e7-92aa-3117-b8f0-f667f1b8b81e literal India India country South India Blade Length cm 107.5 Overall Length cm 118.5 Weight g 760 reference term-126265 adlib-term-126265 a5f05e0a-f06c-30a5-85bb-8de12a2f48c8 sword blade object name reference term-126218 adlib-term-126218 5c8f101c-7368-3b5a-a61d-702fe0e8b92d Indian weapons category khanda history note Probably from the Tanjore armoury, broken up in 1860 (see documentation: Elgood 2004). reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference publication-6089 adlib-publication-6089 762534e6-b9a6-3c98-ad56-fac315162b46 List of arms presented to the Fitzwilliam Museum by Robert Tayler, Esq.
