This print showcases a stunning Knife Hilt with Horse-Head Pommel, dating back to the 18th century. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. The knife hilt is a true masterpiece, intricately carved with remarkable detail and precision. Its black background enhances the vibrant colors that adorn it, making every element stand out in vivid splendor. The horse-head pommel serves as the focal point, capturing the strength and grace of these majestic creatures.
