| Description | Daggers of various shapes appeared in mediaeval Brno in the 14th and 15th centuries, both in iconographic sources and material culture. Not only were they personal weapons of greater or lesser value, but they also served as attributes of significant town council offices, as well as having a role among moral warnings against gambling. |
