This is a very early copper alloy dagger from the Middle East. It has a flat, triangular blade with a short, flat tang. The features are common to very early cultures in the middle East (prior to 1500 BC). The overall weight is 98 grams and the length is roughly 20 cm. The edges are still quite sharp on this wonderful antiquity. The price is right too!

The protruding hooks put tension on the strings or straps that were attached to the skin of the parasol. This is a pair of parasol tips that look nearly identical except for one being longer than the other. The...
