Tibet: an impressive set of Tibetan cutlery. With two chopsticks made of ivory, a knife with a bone handle and a sheath for all three objects. Everything with the finest-quality tendril decoration in brass and silver.
The knife has a long, narrow single-edged blade that has been fullered on both sides. Yellow-coloured metal is inlaid on both sides of the blade and on the back (dragons?). The handle is made of light-coloured bone and is set at the top and the bottom with silver bands and fine leafy tendrils made of brass. Both ivory chopsticks are finished off at the top end with tendrils in silver and brass. Similarly, the sheath of dark-coloured wood also features lavish ornamentation made of fine, detailed brass tendrils and engraved brass plaques, set with silver bands. A narrow white and blue woven strip is attached to the sheath as a carrying strap. A cutlery set probably owned at one time in Tibet by a high-ranking Lama, abbot or prince.
Length: 38 cm (knife and chopsticks in the sheath). 19th century or earlier. (ME) ASA
Provenance: Viennese private collection.
