Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. The KORA was a fearsome weapon of Nepalese design, which was used by many Indian States against the British at the time of the British RAJ. Made all of steel, it is designed to function as both a sword and war axe, with the cutting edge on the inner side. This particular example originated from Nepal, and is quite ornate compared to others we have seen.
This KORA is almost 30" overall with a 24" blade and is fitted with a "Tulwar" style grip, with the characteristic circular pommel guard with a central "skull crusher" spike. The blade is heavily scalloped and carved with Hindu god figures, and is inlaid with a god like figure in brass on one side. There is a large "flower" on both sides of the head, with a small brass inlay on one side, and another Hindu god carved onto the other. A most impressive weapon that must have been deadly on the Battle field, as well as very effective for beheading after the battle was over.
This example from the very early 19th century, circa 1800, and is in very nice condition and ready to display.
