Dagger (Katar)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dagger, also known as a Katar, has a long, thin blade made of metal. The blade is pointed at the tip and straight along its length. A rounded metal piece is attached to the top of the blade. This rounded piece has a textured surface. Two curved, dragon-like structures protrude from the top. A long, thin, pointed metal piece extends from the right side of the rounded piece. The background of the image is gray.
