| Description |
English: Straight-sided blade, the upper edge curving sharply towards the point. The blade is engraved and gilded, a flower spray on one side, a monk or saint looking up to the sky on the other side; blade folds into back of ivory handle. Small brass caps at the hinge. The handle is carved in the shape of the torso of a monk, bold with beard, holding a staff with his arm and a Bible and a church in the other hand. (Possibly Dominic [1170-1221] holding the Lateran Church?) |
