Description (CMS Description)
Dagger with wooden handle and metal blade. The blade is formed of 4 curves and largely undecorated. The wooden handle is decorated with what appear to be two carved faces. several darker areas are isible on the handle, it is uncertain whether they are the result of staining or natural to the wood. The handle and blade are separated by a metal disc built up of circular and triangular metal shapes. The handle is loose and needs to be strengthened. A few bits of vegetable fibre are visible at the base of the handle. One of the tips on the side of the metal section that acts as a guard has been broken off. Condition: Good.
