Silver Inca "tumi" knife, late 1500s, rare. 108 grams, about 6-1/2" x 5-1/2". This odd and important artifact consists of an oval-shaped blade (still sharp!) below a straight handle topped with a llama's head (very well detailed and true to life), basically an ornamental version of what the Incas used for sacrifices, in pristine condition with lovely toning.
