Knife2605/1 a-b

Reindeer herder's knife (part a) and sheath (part b). Elongated 'L' shaped sheath is comprised of two pieces of reindeer antler held together with metal nails, and topped with leather handle and strap. The antler has been elaborately engraved with interlinking circular and triangular shapes, which appear to have been filled in with ink. Knife handle is made of antler and polished wood, with similar etchings as sheath. There is a small inscription on the back of the sheath.
