Khanda
The khanda is one of the oldest types of Indian sword. It was
extremely popular in Orissa and Central India and a favourite
weapon of Rajputs. Khandas tend to have a broad, straight blade
that widens towards a blunt point. However, this example possesses
a European blade with inscribed Latin script that has been added at
a later date. The hilt is characteristic of those found on khandas,
with a round, flat pommel surmounted by a large spike.
