Tribal knife

The image displays a traditional curved knife, often classified as a kukri or similar style blade, lying on a marble surface. This knife features a pronounced, elegantly curved steel blade with signs of wear and a patina indicative of age. The handle appears metallic, possibly brass, with a rounded, hooked end that enhances grip and control. Accompanying the blade is a striking sheath covered in a rich, burgundy fabric adorned with golden wave-like patterns, ensuring the blade is securely housed within. The juxtaposition of the ornate sheath and the rugged appearance of the blade suggests a blend of functionality and ceremonial use, characteristic of such historical artifacts.
