hello

this beautiful knife handle i found a few day,s ago ;D ;D

it is a silver handle thats engraved with 8 birds and flowers

the blade was made from iron ,and did not survived the 400 years in the ground

a new blade will be made by a specialist soon

the handle is very rare (only a few are known in museum,s) :o

these knife,s were wedding gift,s in the late 16 / beginning 17 century a.d

also a name was engraved( ANEKEN GOYVAERTS) that,s a woman,s name ;D



gr bubba ;D ;D ;D

Really nice engravings, did the handle have stones in the holes at one time?
