Dagger (Katar)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dagger, titled "Katar" by its artist, features a metal body with a long, pointed blade that tapers to a sharp tip. The blade is symmetrical with a central groove running along its length. A decorative metal piece connects to the blade's top, featuring a central sphere with two smaller spheres on either side. Two long, thin prongs extend upwards from this decorative piece. The metal has a weathered appearance.
