Bronze Age Knife with Looped Pommel
Circa 800-100 B.C. Comprising a flat, gently curving single-edged blade with pointill? decoration to the upper edge, the flat ridge with hatched panels extending to the integral openwork handle, a loop to the end, the handle recessed to accept organic inserts. 49.1 grams, 21.5 cm (8 1/2 in.).
Numisart collection, Munich, Germany, circa 1995.Acquired in the 2000s.From the private collection of John Lawton, Surrey, UK.Accompanied by a copy of a previous catalogue information page.
The knife is reminiscent of the late Bronze Age- early Iron Age sickle blades, which developed in the falcata blade, a type of short sword used by the Celts in the Iberian peninsula. A falcata was a single-edged blade with an inward curve, allowing both momentum and thrust when used.
