The hilt is formed of two broad rectangular section bars joined by a grip formed of two bars with central fluted balusters, and mouldings at either side. At the front is a deeply curved concave bar attached to the blade by langets terminating in lotus buds, with a single rivet. The bars and langets are bordered by bands of engraved wavy lines, the ground between being fretted with an interlace pattern. The inside of the front bar and the langets are similarly decorated with crude incised flowers and hatching. Much of the decoration is obscured by thick black paint. The blade is pitted from its earlier corrosion O.105-1879 1 accession number O.105-1879 158420 priref 158420 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/158420 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/158420 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Given by Robert Taylor, MA reference agent-180016 adlib-agent-180016 de4194d2-ab82-3bf8-95cd-a266949bffea Taylor, Robert, MA 1879 1879 1879 given Entry date: 1879-02-10 1600 1600 CE 1600 circa 1600 1700 1 1700 CE 1700 1700 maker reference agent-149652 adlib-agent-149652 0d4f90dc-b166-3d4b-b0db-25f4118b6e98 Unknown See Elgood 2004: 145, 157–62 for this general group of south Indian katars.
