Typical features of the Naqada culture daggers include triangular shape of the cutting edge and rhomboidal cross-section with a distinctive middle rib. The specimen presented here is a model based on preserved examples known from various Naqada culture sites. Short daggers like this one were typically equipped with wooden or ivory handles, similar to the one depicted on the model. Examples similar to this have been found at Tell el-Farkha and el-Amrah among others. This 3D model was created as part of a project funded by the National Science Center of Poland under grant UMO-2014/15/N/HS3/01144, titled "The comparative analyses of Early Bronze Age Egyptian and Southern Levantine copper tools including influences from the Arabian Peninsula and Mesopotamia region".
