Dear Community,

I'm excited to introduce a new resource and database dedicated to Oriental arms and armour. Today, the first segment—Katar daggers—has gone live! Even at this early stage, it already features over 400 objects, and with our collective efforts, I believe it will become the most comprehensive open-source reference in the world.

This project has been introduced by Arthur Bijl, former curator at the Wallace Collection and author of its catalogue on Oriental arms and armour.

Follow the link and explore the fascinating world of Katar daggers!
