Dagger

Dagger (part a) and wooden sheath (part b). The dagger has a long metal blade that has been inserted into a wooden handle decorated with a burnt design of rows of dots alternating with solid bands that run the length of the handle. There is a metal ferrule at the top of the handle. The sheath mimics the form of the blade with a semicircular finial at the point, and a semi-cylindrical protrusion on one side. The sheath is decorated with burnt solid bands on both sides, and the semicircular finial has been burnt to a dark brown finish.
