Hello Franc,
That's certainly a representation of a dagger in its scabbard: The thickening at the end stylistically being a scabbard finial. While blades for real cutting/poking can certainly be crafted from bronze, this is none of them as you already suggested. I hope our experts for southern Asia will come forward explaining its cultural context! Regards, Kai |
