Nice Old Katar With a Little Restoration

Jens,

I also agree about the generalisation of the term South India - there is obviously a geographical and technical answer to what is South India, but historically I would certainly consider the language spoken and the race of people (ie. Dravidian).

I think you are right about the Tiger Tooth - I'm sure you noticed it shares the same blade style found on South Indian hooded Katars- but I have to admit you have lost me a little on the peacocks - I have attached a close up for you to examine and if possible mark where you see them.

Kind Regards,
Runjeet
