Rare Khmer knife with original bronze sheath bindings. Please see enlargements to view finely incised pattern on handle and fittings, the pommel ends with rather unusual abstract animal or human face. The blade is quite crusty as is with most Khmer iron artifacts, but the bronze is in excellent condition. L: 24cm/9.5cm. Included is a museum quality perspex stand.
