Thank you ArmsAndAntiques, the example you show, while much finer than mine, is very similar in form. Interesting to see all the utensils as well.

Is it possible that someone can translate what is left of the text on TVV's katar?

I sent a pic of the inscription to my study coordinator ( she is from Chennai).
Do not expect quick answer: it’s New Year time. Moreover, who knows what language was used. |

What makes it extra hard is the rust underneath that has lifted off the overlying koftgari.

Jose was correct: the inscription is mutilated by rust.
The last word in it is " Rajah". For the rest, my res. asst. sent pics to India, she has several friends who are linguists. But even she has very little hope..... |

Ariel, thanks for your assistance, but do you know in language it is written?
This could, maybe, point to a region. I think Rajasthan is correct, but it might help. Last edited by Jens Nordlunde; 31st December 2019 at 10:48 PM. |
