Product Description

This bronze dagger is a one-piece construction, with a hollow handle area on both faces where it once housed the wood or bone handle insert that is now gone. It has a flat blade with aa slightly raised blood ridge, and the edge shows evidence of many resharpenings. The most interesting thing about this dagger are the six letters of cuneiform script engraved on the blade near the hilt. It's finished with a dark green and brown patina.
