This striking shield from Sialkot, the Punjab is richly overlaid in gold wire. It was produced in Sialkot, known for such shields.

The Persian inscription reads:

"Do not sit with the wicked, for bad company / even if you are pure, will make you impure"

This is a well-known moralistic couplet about the corrupting influence of bad companions by 12th-century Sufi poet Hakim Sanai. It was published in the Hadiqat al-Haqiqa (Enclosed Garden of the Truth) around 1130–1131 AD. It is a poetic masterwork that inspired famous later Sufis like Attar of Nishapur and Rūmī and his companions. 

The inclusion of a Sufi text on a Punjabi shield is no coincidence; the Sikhs of the Punjab had a strong connection to Sufism. The primary Sikh scripture the Guru Granth Sahib of 1604 included the poetry of the Punjabi Sufi saint Baba Farid (Sheikh Farid) alongside the words of the Sikh Gurus.

The shield came from the Richard R. Wagner Jr. Collection. It was published in Oliver S. Pinchot; Arms of the Paladins, the Richard R. Wagner Jr. Collection of Fine Eastern Weapons. Woonsocket, USA. Andrew Mowbray Incorporated. 2014. Page 161. 

The shield is in near-mint condition, by far the best I have seen on the market so far.

Most katar when new probably had matching scabbard endpieces but often such pieces -or entire scabbards- got lost and replaced in time. I currently own a few with matching scabbards, here is one, to be listed soon.
