Antique "Piha kaeta" knife, with a strong blade, the heel is reinforced with a golden copper plate, very finely chiseled with floral motifs. The small ivory handle with a blond patina, typical of this type of knife, is carved with scroll motifs and decorated with riveted brass parts. The riveted upper part of the handle has slightly faded on the ivory, which does not alter the aesthetics of this object. Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), 19th century. Plinth. L : 28,1 cm
