These iron dirks belong to a well-known class of weapons featuring a hilt, rectangular in section, divided into three areas by two raised rings. The pommel is a circular disc embellished with two heads on either side, parallel to the face of the blade. For a nearly identical example, see no. 303 in O.W. Muscarella, Bronze and Iron: Ancient Near Eastern Artifacts in The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
