"DAGGER HANDLE (wood)  
This dagger handle's upper part depicts two falcons heads in opposition.  Carved in the handle's center is a rudimentary human face consisting of two eyes, a nose, and a mouth.  This image represents a generic Egyptian enemy.  Its placement on the hilt allowed the owner, when drawing the blade, to crush symbolically Egypt's enemies.
New Kingdom? (ca. 1539-1080 B.C.) 
Provenience [SIC] unknown"
