Compare Rawson 1967: ?? and Egerton 1880: 102, pl. ix. This strangely shaped sword was used to cut off the heads of sacrificial animals. It was important that this was done in a single blow and these weapons, with their large, heavy blades were ideal for this purpose. reference term-106853 adlib-term-106853 25492eb4-1164-35eb-8dce-3601486f3415 19th Century reference term-126244 adlib-term-126244 4581b6dd-0c63-357f-901d-c91298dc2919 literal India India country North India Blade Length cm 56.6 Overall Length cm 75 Weight g 1125 reference term-42208 adlib-term-42208 56bdf465-22ee-3b51-a8c4-fe4a29b1ca93 sword object name reference term-126218 adlib-term-126218 5c8f101c-7368-3b5a-a61d-702fe0e8b92d Indian weapons category ram dao 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.
