Description

Circa 1500 A.D. Comprising a single cutting edge and scale tang; bifacial pommel engraved with a female figure to one face and an enigmatic design to the other. Cf. Marquardt, K., Eight Centuries of European Knives, Forks and Spoons: an Art Collection, Europe, 1997, pp.28-32, for similar. 35 grams, 17 cm (6 3/4 in.).

Acquired 1960s-1990s. Late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister.
