Chakram or throwing quoit, no date
Quoits, or chakram, are a traditional edged weapon from the Indian subcontinent, particularly associated with Sikh fighters. They take the form of a flattened metal ring of varying circumference, with a sharpened outer edge, which can be thrown or used in hand-to-hand combat.
This chakram was brought back from India by Major General Boyce Albert Combe.
