What we have until now:
1. The handle is from wood or horn and shows a deity with a teeth showing grin (one example is simplified), the ears are visible. From 7 examples have three finger grooves. 2. The tang went through the hilt and is peened at top. 3. The blade spine is very thick near the handle (over 10 mm). 4. The blade shows a "strangling" approx. 20 mm after the handle and broaden until the blade clipped again to the point. The clipped point can be longer or also very small (Robert's example).
