the thing is that this hawkbill knife may not have had a special function at all.
Most probably its quality of execution far out-performs function. I don't think this had any ceremonial purpose and although grand, this was a simple utilitarian knife and , as suggested from its hawkbill shape, supposedly used in agricultural ( it is obviously meant to pry and or pull while cutting) context. |
