Hello Franc,

That's certainly a representation of a dagger in its scabbard: The thickening at the end stylistically being a scabbard finial.

While blades for real cutting/poking can certainly be crafted from bronze, this is none of them as you already suggested. I hope our experts for southern Asia will come forward explaining its cultural context!

Regards,
Kai
