Roundel Dagger by artist. Dark metal dagger with a long, thin blade that tapers to a point. The blade has a rough, textured surface. A short guard separates the blade from the handle. The handle is flared at the end, wider at the top than at the bottom, and has a slight lip at the edge. The background is light gray. The dagger is positioned horizontally.
