The development of the Indian katar

Jim,
The devolopment from this very early katar, to the katar at Akbar's time is quite fantastic.
The 'only' problem is, is to find the sculptures, friezes or whatever to show the development. I feel sure they are there, and have been seen by many people - the problem is, that they may not have been interested in katars.
When speaking about sculptures an friezes, it must be remembered, that a lot were destroyed during and after the many wars over several centuries. Depending on, if the Hindu's or the Muslim's won. So a lot of evidence can have been/has been lost.
