The katars

Jens Nordlunde · 28th May 2014, 04:57 PM

When looking for something else I found this old post, and as I am especially interested in the kater I have researched it a bit.
In an article written in South Indian Studies, vol. 25, 2009, I have taken it back to the 10th century in Orissa.
It seems as if it could have started in the South, although there is no evidence so far for this, and it could even be older, but further research will have to be done.

Hi Jens,

I love Katars, but only have two. They are hard to find in Australia (our weird customs regulations prohibit importing them).

I have tried to find a copy of your article: "How old is the Katar" but it isn't available without a journal subscription. Is there any chance you could make this available to Forum members?

Cheers, Russel

Hi Russel,
I am sorry, but when you let one of these magazines publish an article you at the same time give them copyright.
I have noticed that I have made an embarresing error. In South Asian Studies no 25 the article published is Royal Katars of Bundi.
The article How Old is the Katar? was published in Arms and Armour, Vol. 10 no 1. Royal Armouries, Leeds. Sorry.
