    Object Description

    Knife consists of a metal blade and a carved ivory/bone upper handle. The sheath is made in two pieces - the front is ivory/bone and the back wood - bound together with telephone wire at top and bottom. The ivory finial is carved in the shape of a baboon standing on the back of an elephant. The front of the sheath has four zoomorphic creatures in arrow one behind the other from the smallest to the largest. The two larges figures appear to be warthogs.
