No decorations
just plain steel. It seems to me that most katars from Rajasthan that I have seen are not really decorated and are more plain. This is of course is due to my limited exposure. I'm sure there are some but I have not come across any so far. Also since there were many wars between different kingdoms where the defeated sides armoury was sacked and those particular weapons were spread around to other regions of India it becomes difficult to make a precise call on their origins.
