The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a dagger. A dagger has a dark-colored, metallic blade with a pointed tip. The blade is widest near the handle and tapers to a point. A short guard separates the blade from the handle. The handle is metallic and cylindrical with a T-shaped end. The dagger appears to have a greenish tint and signs of aging or wear on its surface. The dagger rests on a flat surface that appears to be light-colored.
