Punch Dagger (Katar) with Sheath

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a punch dagger, also known as a katar, with a sheath. The dagger has a pointed blade with an engraved design on it. The engraving depicts two men facing each other. The top part of the dagger is made of metal and has a latticework design. Two long, thin pieces of metal extend from the top of the dagger. The sheath is not shown separately but rather the dagger itself which appears to serve as a combination of both, or no sheath is present. The background of the image is white. The dagger is attributed to Punch Dagger (Katar) with Sheath.
