Left-Handed Dagger (Main Gauche)
- Dated: 1650
- Culture: Spanish or Italian (Neapolitan)
- Medium: steel, pierced and chiseled
- Measurements: Overall - h:57.20 cm (h:22 1/2 inches) Wt: .50 kg; Blade - l:44.40 cm (l:17 7/16 inches); Quillions - w:25.40 cm (w:10 inches)
Daggers, like the one displayed here, have been misleadingly called “left-handed daggers” even though they could be held in either hand. The guard is richly decorated with chiseled and pierced arabesques.
