The dagger guard has a central rectangular block with a vertical tang hole and on either side there is a quillon (with sub-rectangular section) that expands slightly towards the terminal. The terminal is decorated with an incised line running parallel to the edge. Emerging from the front of the central rectangular block is a flat projection that expands to form a curved edge, similar to an axe in plan. This axe-shaped projection is decorated on both surfaces with regularly spaced short vertical incised lines. On the opposite face of the central block the surface is decorated with parallel vertical lines. The dagger guard is broken across the tang hole of the central block and one quillon is missing. Dark green patina.Dimensions: length 42.69mm; internal width of tang hole 5.81mm; width 35.50mm; thickness 9.20mm weight 26.40g
