Rare Pichangatti Knife & Scabbard with Fine Silver & Brass Mounts

  • Culture: Coorg, South India
  • Dated: 18th-19th century

Pichangatti knives were the indigenous knives of the Coorg people of the Kingdom of Mysore in what is now Karnataka state. Such knives tended to be more utilitarian rather than for use in combat. They were carried in the front of the belt. This example is of typical form but is finer and in better condition than most extant examples.

The iron blade is wide with a band of incised decoration. The hilt is of iron sheaved in silver sheet that is embellished with silver studs and rosettes. The scabbard is of rosewood with silver and brass mounts - the two metals providing a pleasing contrast with one another.

The scabbard terminates with a well-cast silver lotus bud. Elsewhere, the silver is decorated with applied twisted wire bands. A thick chain of well-cast segments is suspended from a loop attached to the scabbard. Tools for personal grooming such as ear picks and nail cleaners would have been attached to this chain.

25 Years ago Chernobyl was headline news. On April 26th 1986 at 1:23 A.M. reactor number four at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, near the town of Pripyat, ruptured a vessel during several extreme power spikes. Several explosions followed and these caused the graphite moderator components of the reactor to be exposed to air, setting them on fire. The fire sent a plume of radioactive fallout into the atmosphere. It drifted over large parts of the Sovjet Union and Western Europe.
50 People died as a direct result of the disaster and it is thought up to 4000 people have died as a result of being exposed to the radioactive materials which entered the atmosphere. Over 350.000 were evacuated from contaminated areas around Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

In 2011, 25 years later, the area surrounding Chernobyl still looks like a ghost town.
