Description: | Fragment of dirk or dagger, too fragmented to tell exactly, though size suggests its length was not more than about 120mm long. Raised mid-rib with a line either side following the line of the blade. On the other side of this line the blade slopes away to give a smooth pointed-oval cross-section. It seems the butt was probably quite pronounced as the line of the blade on one side suddenly curves more sharply as though toward a trapezoidal butt. This is typical for the dirk, though a sharp curve at the butt is not unheard of in the dagger (Wessex Daggers, Armorico-British C -though these tend to have flat sections with central thickening for mid-rib (Early BA 1600-1400 BC)). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
