Default Early Sica for Comment and Questions

Dear All,

I recently acquired the below knife. I believe it is a Sica. It was sold as a 1st-2nd CE century Celtic-Roman border knife. The bronze inlays closest to the tang is described as and looks like a stylized humanoid figure.

I was wondering if someone knows more about the bronze inlays, or knows more about these knives, or can point me to scholarly research on these knives and scholarly research on the meaning of the bronze inlays?
