Dagger (Katar)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Dagger (Katar) by unknown artist shows a double-edged, forked dagger with a metal handle. The dagger's blade is long and narrow with two sharp points at the end. Above the blade is a decorative metal piece that serves as a guard. The guard features a wavy design across the top. A metal piece with an etched floral design extends from the guard down to the blade. The dagger appears to be made of silver or a silver-toned metal. The background of the image is white.
