Katar (Stabbing Dagger)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Katar (Stabbing Dagger) features a silver-colored metal blade with a pointed tip and a distinctive bifurcated or forked shape. Two long, thin prongs extend from the top of the blade, forming a rectangular frame. The prongs are connected by a gold-colored metal piece that spans the width of the dagger, featuring an ornate design. A gold-colored metal frame adorns the top of the blade, with a decorative pattern. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
