One of these poignards (fig.

304) has a golden sheath and a wooden hilt inlaid with triangular mosaics of carnelian, lapis lazuli, felspar, and gold.

Four female heads in gold _repousse_ form the pommel; and a bull's head reversed covers the junction of blade and hilt.

The edges of the blade are of massive gold; the centre of black bronze damascened with gold.

On one side is the solar cartouche of Ahmes, below which a lion pursues a bull, the remaining space being filled in with four grasshoppers in a row.
