is this a common dagger?

can anybody help ?
the solid brass handle is more on the fantasy side, but the blade is very real, much too operational for a decoration or even a ceremonial piece ...
although not much handy, due to the snakes in the grip, it has a weapon's balance, heavy and lethal. amazing that the two little ( human ?) figures, are purposely of different sizes, as pretending to be male and female ...
the blade is 7 1/2" long, the total length 12 1/4".
anybody in this forum familiar to this type of knives ?
thanks
