Dagger (Katar)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Dagger (Katar) has a long, thin grey metal blade with a pointed tip. The blade is narrow and tapers to a point. It features an etched design with gold accents. The blade's width is narrower at the tip and gets slightly wider towards the top. Above the blade is a dark metal frame with two long prongs extending upwards. There are two oval-shaped holes on either side of the frame, and a decorative gold piece at the top. The frame is attached to the blade with gold accents around the edges. The background of the image is light grey.
