Green metal dagger with a handle in the form of a male figure. The figure has a rounded face with a nose and mouth and two circular eyes with vertical pupils. The figure has a hat, earrings, and a loincloth. The figure's arms are bent at the elbow and held out to the sides. The dagger blade is long and triangular, with a wide, flat base that tapers to a point. The blade and handle are made from a single piece of green metal. The background is a beige wall with a shadow cast by the dagger to the right.
