A rare find! From ancient Egypt, ca. 1000 B.C. The bronze tapering, pointed blade with mid-rib on both sides, flaring slightly at the broad end, then joined by rivets to the remains of the ivory handle. For the Egyptian soldier, a dagger was a substitute weapon rather than a weapon of choice. 11"L, blade intact. Custom mount.
