Description: | A hand carved bone knife, dating to the 17th to 18th century. The knife is in the form of a dagger or short sword. The blade of the knife has a fuller (indentation down the centre of the blade). The hilt of the dagger shaped knife is flat, with the vestiges of the bollock. It has a short shank which tapers slightly towards the flat end. Hazel Forsyth believes this would indicate its function as a knife (for example a paper knife) rather than a toy. The back of the knife is flat.
