The image presents a close-up of an ornate dagger’s handle, crafted from a creamy, off-white material, likely bone or ivory. Intricate carvings depict two figures in classical attire, standing close together, their forms detailed with flowing garments and expressive postures. The surface shows signs of age, with subtle wear and faint discoloration along the edges. The handle’s cylindrical form is adorned with decorative bands and fine linear patterns. Beside it, the dark, matte blade’s edge is partially visible, contrasting with the lighter handle. The background is a muted, neutral tone, allowing the object’s craftsmanship to stand out without distraction. The lighting is soft, casting gentle shadows that accentuate the relief of the carvings. The overall impression is one of quiet elegance and historical presence.
