A beautifully gilt Eared Dagger with an intricately carved bone grip, Italy, ca. 1520, housed at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana.
The text which can be seen on the dagger's ears is the second verse of Psalm 31 (30), which reads IN TE DOMIN[E] SPERAVI / ET NON CONFUNDAR IN [AETERNUM] “In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded”.
