## Description

The dagger is a single cast, bronze, wedge-shaped blade, measuring 44 cm × 4.6 cm (17.3 in × 1.8 in). The double-edged dagger is decorated on both sides with furrows and single embossed serpents crawling between them. It is made of a complex technical method, using two-tone metal (glowing reddish copper reliefs incrusted on a yellow surface). There is a running spiral carved on the upper widening part of the blade. The wrist holds a tubular, spherical head, where there are triangular partitions forming separate sections, preserving wooden inlays.[1]
