Fig. 795. Dagger
French, about 1400-20 Ex collection: Baron de Cosson. Metropolitan Museum of New York
developed "kidney" dagger is shown complete with its scabbard, though, strangely enough, the dagger is carved with the hilt hanging downwards; while a kidney dagger is sculptured on the effigy of John Fitz-Alan, Earl of Arundel, about 1434, in the church of Arundel (Fig. 794). The dagger in this effigy is much mutilated. The most characteristic shapes appear, however, in the Flemish and Burgundian tapestries and sculptures of the mid-XVth century. Though actual daggers of this early period are justly considered rarities by collectors, a good many examples are to be seen in public and private collections.
