Ear dagger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Type of dagger
Drawing of an ear dagger

Anear dagger is a relatively rare and exotic form of dagger that was used during the lateMiddle Ages andRenaissance. It is so named because the pommel of the dagger has a very distinctive shape, somewhat resembling ahuman ear.[1] Ear daggers frequently have a single sharpened edge that ends in an acute point.

It is thought that the ear dagger was introduced to Europe from Spain, where it presumably originated from theMoors.

History

[edit]

The design (in bronze) may have appeared in the second millennium BC inLuristan and is more firmly attested in the first.[1] Further production in the same area took place between 300AD and 500AD.[1] The design was first made in Europe in the Iberian peninsular.[1] By the 15th century, manufacture had extended to Italy.[1]
