Can anyone provide more information on this sculpture which seems to
be a ancient khanda behind the statue of Shiva who is depicted here as
Ardhnarishwara. All I know that the said sculpture of the 'Ardhanarishvara',
which dates back to the Chola Period, 10th Century, is showcased at the
Cleveland Museum, Ohio.

Thanks

I was least expecting a blank... I really am curious to learn more about our
present day symbol, the 'Khanda'. We need to find out more about it. I came
across this photograph of the Darshani Deori of Taran Taran Sahib. One can see the
Nishan sahib has the kirpan / katar/ chakr pattern and is not the present day 'Khanda'.
The photograph comes from Khushwant Singh's book published in 1953.

Then there are some paintings and a woodcut I saw where Guru Gobind Singh
is depicted with a similar Nishan Sahib and not one with the present day 'Khanda'.
