A sword based off of a slightly unusual tulwar. The pack contains two versions of the blade; one with an origin point at the grip, the other at the balance point. Also included are a small demo scene.
The tulwar is a type of sword found in the Indian sub-continent. Heavily influenced by the Persian shamshir, it found its way into almost every kingdom, and became an integral part of various military forces.
This version is modeled after a particularly curious tulwar from the Amritsar region, a place famous for its Golden Temple, the center of the Sikh religion. Although most tulwars feature a distinctive disc between the pommel and handle, this one instead bears an elaborately engraved lion head, with a short spike on the end.
