Thanks! Looks like a great trip. Any mention of what role the Katars played? Another choice for side arm, I assume?
Hope you brought some back some great souvenirs!
Cheers

A thing I find most interesting is how plain the mueseum weapons are, even those of highly esteemed warriors. Surely this is no accident? In my home town which has a long association with Gurkha troops there is a Nepalese goldsmith. Does this mean that the ornate arms we frequently see are largely for show?
