An archaic bronze dagger

Description

Dimensions: Length 25.8 cm.

Description: An archaic bronze dagger or ritual blade, the long tapering blade terminating in a pierced and cast handle with angular scroll detail. The object combines a restrained blade profile with a more ornamental terminal, creating a striking contrast of function and ritualised design. The aged patina enhances its archaeological character.
