Dagger (Katar) with Sheath

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dagger has a long, narrow blade with a pointed tip and a straight edge. The blade is made of metal, likely steel or silver, and has a subtle curve. A decorative gold-colored metal piece adorns the top of the blade, featuring a central design flanked by two long thin pieces on either side. The handle is not visible. To the left of the dagger is a green sheath, also long and narrow, with a pointed tip. The sheath appears to be made of leather or fabric and features a gold-colored metal piece at the tip. A dark brown band encircles the top of the sheath, and a small gold-colored piece of metal is visible at the top. The background of the image is a plain light gray color. The image depicts a Dagger (Katar) with Sheath.
