Rhinoceros horn carving lion shaped cutter, clear, 15.5cm long
The knife holder is carved into a lion with rhinoceros horn. The lion has a wide nose and wide mouth, protruding eyebrows and eyes, dark eyes, and neck hyenas curled into small eddies. The front and rear legs are supported on the edge of the knife rest, and the position is handled very skillfully. The tail is inclined to protrude a column decoration with more than one section, which is hollow. Each section is carved with a geometric lotus petal pattern. A small lion is embossed on it, and a perforated hydrangea is hollowed out in front of it. The small lion and hydrangea are connected by a ribbon, which is extended and held in the mouth of the big lion. The knife shaft is located at the lion’s cheek. The knife is short and wide, rusty, can be opened at an angle of about 30 °, and has a ring guard handle. After trial, it can be operated with one hand. The thumb holds the handle, and the other four fingers hold the lion tail cylinder. The link is just convenient for the fingers to grasp. It may be very practical, but its purpose is unknown. The lion has a round button on its hip, which seems to be used for wearing and wearing.
