A sturdy Southern Indian katar from the 18th century, with a 25 cms (10") European blade (Portuguese?). Total length 44 cms (17 1/4").
The side bars decorated with what appears to be a Kundalini motif.
A katar of reduced hilt dimensions, probably for an adolescent. The 25 cms (10") blade is quite worn by continuous sharpening.
Selling the pair for 250 Euros.
