Ritual dagger in bronze and steel of great symbolic power. The pommel depicts a knight in full armor, with a plumed helmet and a solemn expression. He appears as an initiatory figure: guardian of thresholds, defender of hidden knowledge, engaged in an inner quest.
The guard, formed by a serpent coiling around the figure, introduces a strong esoteric dimension. The serpent evokes knowledge, transformation, the cycles of death and rebirth, but also the primal forces that the initiate must confront and master.
The face-off between the knight and the serpent can be read as an initiatory trial: the ordered mind confronted with occult forces, instinct, and forbidden knowledge. The object thus becomes an allegory of self-mastery and the pursuit of higher knowledge.
The steel blade presents a singular, ceremonial form, far removed from that of a conventional combat weapon. Its undulating profile, symmetrical swellings, and lanceolate tip evoke a ritual or talismanic instrument rather than a utilitarian blade.
Through its decoration and evocative power, this dagger belongs to an esoteric tradition in which the object becomes a talisman, a ritual instrument, and a medium of initiation. It embodies the inner struggle, the quest for knowledge, and the mastery of hidden forces.
