Lava Stone Straight Knife, 19th Century, Neapolitan Costume

Surprising knife with a handle carved from volcanic stone, one face only, probably by one of these cameo sculptors from the Naples region, who, after the discoveries of Pompeii, flooded the souvenir shops. The large cap folded by winds was typical of  Naples...
Silver ferrule, a little dented, straight steel blade, quite thin, but rounded on end.
See our photos. 21cm x 2.5cm
