Katar-style dagger, the handle is covered with gold studded with diamonds, emeralds and rubies. On the outside of the two sides there is an artistic design of flowers tending to a geometric shape, and on the inside there are hexagonal shapes, and on the upper part of the blade is a gilded floral design. The gilded handle is covered with an iron heart. This was done using the “Kandan” technique and studded with precious stones. As for the blade, it was made of steel, polished, decorated with engravings, and then covered with gold.
