EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing artifact, known as a Bagh-nakh or Tigers Claw, is a traditional Indian weapon believed to have originated in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The name "Bagh-nakh" translates to "tiger claw," and the weapon is designed to mimic the fierce claws of the tiger. This particular example dates back to 1945 and was obtained from a dacoit, or bandit, in the Belgaum District of Karnataka. The Bagh-nakh consists of a brass plate with four steel claws, each tipped with a brass ring intended to be slipped over the fingers. The left hand is designed for use, with the larger claws on the thumb and index finger. The weapon's historical association with the Indian police is a testament to its fearsome reputation and effectiveness in combat. The Bagh-nakh has a rich cultural history in India, with references to its use dating back to ancient Hindu texts. It was commonly used by warriors, hunters, and law enforcement personnel for self-defense and to subdue opponents. The weapon's unique design and association with the power and ferocity of the tiger make it a captivating piece of Indian history and a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage. This photograph, taken in 1945, provides a rare glimpse into the past and offers a glimpse into the world of traditional Indian weapons. The Bagh-nakh is not only a symbol of strength and power but also a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to shape India today.
