Figural horn (possibly rhino) hilt
This week a hilt was auctioned, possibly made from rhino horn, and possibly from 17th cent. There are only 3 figural 16th/17th cent. horn hilts from european collections shown in Jensens Krisdisk - in Vienna (which is rhino for sure), Firenze, Dresden, so they are more rare then similar ivory hilts.
Two pictures of it for posterity. |
