Description: The Toradar represents one of the earliest forms of firearms to reach the Indian subcontinent, likely influenced by Portuguese and Dutch traders who brought European firearm technology to Asia in the 16th century. These matchlock muskets bear striking similarities to the Japanese Tanegashima, reflecting the cross-cultural exchange of military technology during the age of exploration and trade.
This exceptional example from the late 1500s showcases the sophisticated craftsmanship of Indian armorers who adapted European firearm designs to local materials and aesthetic preferences. Features walnut stock with beautifully crafted laminated brass side plates decorated with multiple chrysanthemum blooms, a motif that demonstrates the artistic influence shared between Asian cultures. Round cannon barrel secured with four retaining bands in the traditional manner. Remains fully functional and in fine untouched condition, preserving nearly 500 years of history.
