These four rivets are rectangular, with slightly larger and flatter extremities. They were found in a tomb in which a dagger was also found, 41,5 cm in length with a bronze blade 29,2 cm long and 2,5 cm wide and with a trapezoid-shaped ivory handle that is 10,6 cm long and 5,2 cm wide (see L 510). The intermediary element, made of turtle shell, was destroyed. The pieces were held together by the four rivets at the shoulder of the blade. A similar dagger was found in Tomb KT 9 at Mirgissa/Iken (see A. Vila, ''Le cimetière Kerma'', Mirgissa I, fig. 18 B).

Les quatre rivets présentent une forme rectangulaire aux deux extrémités plus larges et aplaties. Elles proviennent d'une tombe dans laquelle fut également retrouvée une dague longue de 41,5 cm, constituée d'une lame en bronze de 29,2 cm de long et 2,5 cm de large et d'une poignée trapézoïdale en ivoire de 10,6 cm de long et 5,2 cm de large (voir L 510). La pièce intermédiaire en écaille de tortue est détruite. Cet ensemble était assemblé par les quatre rivets placés sur le talon de la lame. Une dague similaire fut également retrouvée dans la tombe KT 9 de Mirgissa/Iken (voir A. Vila, "Le cimetière Kerma", Mirgissa I, fig. 18 B).
