Description

From the film The Mummy (1999) starring: Brendan Fraiser this is the original Ceremonial Dagger.
It is double sided and made from a very durable quality bronze.
It is 18 inches long x 4 inches wide x 1.5 inches deep and weights about 15lbs.
It is a real prop dagger from the film. It also served quite nicely to torpor a vampire after it was jammed into his head.

Note: The sacrificial dagger brought from the future was destroyed in fire that engulfed the mansion of the Duke and Duchess. (Summer of 1900)
