| Description |
In the tombs of ancient kings--in Mycenae, in
Egypt, and Ur--magnificent daggers have been
found which speak of the worldly power and
status of their owners. This splendid silver
weapon from the Arabian peninsula follows in
that same tradition. Undoubtedly, the person
who once wore it was an individual of
importance.
