Weapon Wednesday: Chakram from India

Written by Aruna Panday, Ph.D Candidate in the Department of Anthropology at York University, Friends of South Asia co-Chair, and Summer 2014 ROM curatorial intern. Chakram or battle-quoit, made of wrought steel, India, 19th century, ROM 910.42.52 Fans of the Fantasy show Xena Warrior Princess (which ran 1995-2001) will recognize the chakram as one of the weapons in her arsenal. While there is a fictional back story to her weapon (that holds the monikers of the Chakram of Light, the Dark Chakram and the Balanced Chakram) the chakram is in fact a real weapon that originated in South Asia.
