Mughal Kard?
I had posted this once before on this forum. Now that we have some other folks more invested in India arms, I would like to post this again. I got this some years ago. The scales are ivory, the blade with very subtle watering, and the koftgari is gold. I have some questions:
1. Would this be considered a kard (or a type of Mughal steak knife)?
2. The plant motifs circled in red and green - what are they and what is there significance (keeping Jen's thread of Indian decorations in mind)?
3. How old do you think this is?
