Description

A pen-and-ink and pencil drawing on paper shows five dagger blades standing upright in a row. The largest, in the middle, is fully inked with stippled shading, a tapering blade and a hilt with bands of wrapping and a hooked tang. The other four are pencil outlines, and a small diamond-shaped cross-section is drawn below each blade with a code written beneath it.
