Eared Dagger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Eared Dagger by an unknown artist: The image shows a black and white photo of a dagger. The dagger has a long, thin blade with a rough texture and a pointed tip. The blade is dark gray or black. The dagger's handle is made of a darker material and features a distinctive eared or flanged design. A ruler is placed below the dagger for scale, with numbers 1, 2 and 3 visible. A small rectangular label on the right reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1925". The background of the image is a plain light grey surface.
