Thank you, Jim, for publishing this wonderful piece. Katars are such a fascinating topic! Your example is quite classic, with deep chiseling and probably a European blade.
I immediately found a number of very similar examples and selected three pieces from different world museums to show the variations — giving you a range of dates and origins from the 17th to 19th centuries. 😄 https://objet.art/as/subscriptions/6...cb69001f99b0ce https://objet.art/as/subscriptions/6...cb69001f99b0ce https://objet.art/as/subscriptions/6...cb69001f99b0ce And yes, Arthur Bijl is doing a great job keeping everything clear and focused on verified facts. There was also a wonderful recent article on South Indian so-called “Hooded Katars” from private collections — it honestly felt like browsing through a beautifully illustrated album from the old days. What did you think of it? https://objet.art/as/articles/68de54ba95a5c4789ff22de5 |
