Ca. 1200-700 BC. A well-preserved cast bronze dagger featuring a triangular-shaped, double-edged blade. The hilt of the dagger is flanged and hollowed, with a sturdy grip for the wielder's hand. The hilt's interior space, created by the hollowing, allowed the dagger's weight to be evenly distributed and balanced, making it an effective weapon in close combat.
