Italian left hand dagger

A left hand dagger such as this object would have been used as off-hand defence in fencing or swordfight to parry the thrusts of an opponent while the dominant hand wielded a rapier or other, longer sword. The gilded hilt of the dagger has an S-shaped crossguard with a thumb loop and terminals decorated in mid-relief, in the same design as its pommel.The blade has an unadorned ricasso, with a slighlty off-centre grind line on the double-edged blade.
