Katar

Between Katar and the nearest limits of the province of Sharja, namely, the village of Aboo-Debee, the desert comes right down to the sea

Katar, the pearl-fishery coast east of Hasa. Its inhabitants, said to be 135,000 in number, find an almost exclusive occupation in the pearl trade.

We now come to the Katar, or Indian dagger, which affords ample room for the display of the greatest ingenuity and artistic power of the damascener.
