Dagger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dagger has a wooden handle. The handle is shaped like a paddle with a narrow neck that flares out toward the blade. The handle appears scratched and worn. The blade is metallic and curved with a sharp point. It appears to have some etchings on it. There are two metal guard prongs on either side of the blade where it meets the handle. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The dagger is titled "Dagger" by an artist whose name is not specified.
