Ceremonial Blade Date Unknown

This ceremonial blade, made of bronze, is an anonymous work of art of unknown date. The blade is characterized by its simple yet striking form, with a rectangular shape and a single hole near the top. The blade is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and measures approximately 7 1/2 inches in length and 2 1/2 inches in width. The blade's minimalist design and the hole suggest that it may have served a ritual or ceremonial purpose, though its precise function remains unclear.
