Pommel of a dagger whose crescent shape is typical of the Middle Kingdom. It bears three rivet holes and an axial groove, enabling the tang of the blade to be inserted (the blade, which is made of a cuprous metal, has actually coloured the ivory green). At the base, two oval cavities were hollowed out, allowing a better grip. The side was chipped and was repaired using two tenons, one of which is still preserved.

Pommeau de dague dont la forme est caractéristique du Moyen Empire. En forme de croissant, il comporte une saignée axiale pour le passage de la soie de la lame (cette dernière, en métal cuivreux a d'ailleurs coloré l'ivoire en vert) et trois trous de rivets. &Agrave; la base, deux évidements ovales sont ménagés pour la préhension. Un éclat sur le bord avait été brisé et réparé à l'aide de deux tenons dont l'un est conservé.
