Dagger (Katar)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Dagger (Katar) by Unknown Artist depicts a dagger with a metal handle and blade. The handle consists of two curved arms that rise from a central band. The band features a decorative design with two large balls in the center, flanked by smaller balls and bordered by small circles. The blade is long and narrow, with a pointed tip. A semi-circular design adorns the top of the blade. The dagger appears to be made of metal, with a dark patina. The background is a plain light gray color.
