Tumulus 17, Grave 3 - Dagger Restoration


Dagger is seen end-on from the iron pommel at the end of the handle

The dagger is seen end-on from the iron pommel at the end of the handle. The flattened area indicates where the handle was in contact with the clothing worn by the deceased; the dagger was found in situ angled across what would have been the right hip.
