Flint dagger
Description
A flint dagger, grey/white in colour, with a handle/ tang splayed at the butt. The blade is leaf-shaped with pressure flaking on the edges of the blade. The handle has been retouched at the edges and centre of the upper surface to give a triangular section. The line of raised zigzag pattern down the middle of the handle and along its edges may be an imitation of stitching on a leather-covered handle. The blade has also been partially polished to give it a smoother appearance.
