4 katars for comment

Here 4 katars from my collection.
The big wootz one( 46 cm) and the small with rest of gold are in better state of conservation and higher standard of quality.
I would like to know how we can date those Katars ,are they all from the same period ?
Hopping I will have more information..

Fantastic grouping

. Love the small fancy one from the south. As far as age goes the smaller fancy one is late 1700s-1820. The big one is probably from Rajasthan circa 1850s.

Thank you LEW
The small one was my first buy and also in my eyes the nicer one.
Could you tell me if the first and second are younger ?
I saw your avatar are you also African mask collector ?

Hi, Really like the last two, The wootz one is bold and clean. I found a relative of the stubby Nimcha, I believe their called awhile back they could be related. Jens will be able to tell about the first two. Steve
