This katar is from city of Bundi in Rajasthan, most probably 19th century.
For similar example please see a Katar in MET museum: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/31504 Inscriptions on Bundi Katars are made normally in a local dialect and are almost impossible to translate - I wish you good luck finding a translator! |

Hi Guys, yes Runjeet Singh also suggested it is very like the example in the Met. Cheers Cathey
