Aesthetic bronze narrow full tang dagger with a very simple and unusually sober design that has little to no ornamentation along the blade, or its partially preserved bone hilt with only two symmetrical crescent moon shaped dips along the base of the hilt and a hole that as far as I can reason could have been use for carrying the dagger with a threaded string or as the place of attachment for a fabric ornamentation. This specimen as far as the record goes came from a private Japanese collection in which it stayed from 1970 to 2010, when it was sold I am guessing as part of a bigger lot to Ancient&Oriental a London based dealer who held it till 2022 when it was finally sold to us. The dagger is pretty decently preserved not holding an edge, but still everything is there and it is structurally sound and also as far as can be seen, no restorations are present anywhere in the piece. Comes with a certificate of autheticity from the original dealer and it has been assessed as authentic by an independent private dealer and an auction house. If necesary more information may be requested by any interested buyers and in case you are bidding from a non EU country be warned that this item will take at maximum a month to get mailed to you due to the need for personalized export licenses.
