The Leopard Knife appears to be simply a beautiful sculpture of mammoth ivory; that the trunk of the tree it depicts sheaths a Damascus steel blade only becomes apparent upon close inspection. Along with that trunk, ivory here also takes the form of leopards, as well as being used to create the knife’s handle (in front of one small leopard is a gold lizard on a stone). The whole composition is mounted on a stand of ebony.
