Antique Basque dagger with a steel blade and wooden handle on a textured sepia background, top-down view.

A single Basque dagger (daga vizcaína) from the 16th century, displayed horizontally on a textured parchment background. The dagger has a short double-edged steel blade, about 25 cm long, with a sharp triangular point. Its guard is simple, slightly curved in an “S” shape, made of aged brass or iron. The handle is crafted from polished wood or bone, with visible rivets and a small rounded pommel. The style is realistic and historically accurate, showing wear, patina, and craftsmanship. The entire image should have a sepia tone, warm and aged, as if part of an antique manuscript or museum catalog. Soft shadows and fine texture on the blade and handle. No text, no modern elements, centered composition, cinematic lighting. See more
