Bone Carving Handle

Description

Probably for stick or knife

Size: cm 8 x 12 hight

Weight Kg 0,198

Carved in bovine bone, this curious handle, probably done in the early 20th century, has a peculiar theme: an octopus that, with its tentacles, clings to a pile of skulls. It brings to mind the characters of books such as The Treasure Island by Robert Luis Stevenson or The Black Corsair by Emilio Salgari.
