A 17th Century Indian Tooroom Katar with Fluted Blade

15" blade length. About 22" overall with hilt. Triangular double edge spear point blade with heavy fluting to both sides, possibly of European make. Blade has chiseled iron braces to both sides riveting blade to hilt. Hilt has a cupped guard and chiseled details including a grotesque head to swept quillon. Possibly decorated with silver koftgari at some point.
