tapering single edged blade with concave/hollow ground surfaces, thick disks with circle and dot decoration of two different sizes.
spirally shaped handle and quatrefoil decoration brass washer under the tang button. all in a unharmed Original condition

a similar type of dagger is depicted on an altar piece from 1469.
Although many rondel daggers remain to be shown in art, there have been only a very few preserved.
